Abstract
Differential thermogravimetric analysis was used to study the thermal oxidative degradation of peat samples from different districts of the Ivanovo Region. The study was performed in nonisothermic conditions. It was found that the thermal oxidative processes involve a few steps. Kinetic characteristics [activation energy (E a), preexponential factor (ln A), and reaction order (n)] were estimated for each step. It was found that the limiting stage of the entire process is a chemical reaction. The resulting data can be used to develop prognostic models for peatbog combustion.
