Abstract
The acetates of magnesium, nickel, copper, manganese, sodium and barium were subjected to thermal decomposition by means of thermogravimetric techniques (TG) under a constant flow of nitrogen. The decompositions occurred in steps and the kinetics of every set of reactions was determined by the Coats and Redfern method. These results were analysed to establish the decomposition kinetics and hence to calculate activation energies. The activation energies were also determined by applying the Horowitz-Hugh method, which yielded similar results.
Zusammenfassung
Mittels TG in konstantem Stickstoffstrom wurde die thermische Zersetzung von Magnesium-, Nickel-, Kupfer-, Mangan-, Natrium- und Bariumazetat untersucht. Es erfolgte eine schrittweise Zersetzung, die Kinetik für jede der Reaktionen wurde mit Hilfe der Methode von Coats und Redfern bestimmt. Diese Ergebnisse wurden genutzt, um die Kinetik der Zersetzung und anschlie\end die Aktivierungsenergien festzustellen. Ähnliche Werte für die Aktivierungsenergien erhielt man auch mit Hilfe der Methode von Horowitz Hugh.
