The physical characteristics, proximate analysis, elemental analysis and chemical analysis of paddy husk, an important renewable source of energy, are reported in this paper. The kinetic parameters for the thermal degradation of paddy husk at heating rates of 10 and 100°C min−1 and under atmospheres of air and oxygennitrogen mixture (5:95) have been evaluated from experimentally obtained TGA data. The limitations of the existing TGA models are discussed, and a modified model has been used for correlation of the data.

A series of new complexes formed by the interaction of a new ligand Methylquinolino[3,2-b]benzodiazepine (L) with various transition metal ions have been isolated and characterized by elemental analysis and electronic, IR, magnetic moment and conductivity measurements. Thermogravimetric (TG) studies of the complexes have been performed in order to establish the mode of their thermal degradation. The thermal degradation was found to proceed in two steps. The kinetics and thermodynamic parameters were computed from the thermal decomposition data.

AbstractIn this article, the influence of polylactide and pro-oxidant on the thermal stability, degradation kinetics, and lifetime of polypropylene has been investigated using thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen atmosphere at four different heating rates (i.e. 5, 10, 15, and 20°C/min). The kinetic parameters of degradation were studied over a temperature range of 30–550°C. The derivative thermogravimetric curves have indicated single stage and two stage degradation processes. The activation energy was evaluated by using the Kissinger, Kim-Park, and Flynn-Wall methods under the nitrogen atmosphere. The activation energy value of polypropylene was much higher than that of polylactide. Addition of polylactide and pro-oxidant in polypropylene decreased the activation energy. The lifetime of polypropylene has also decreased with the addition of polylactide and pro-oxidant.

The thermal degradation characteristics of microalgae were investigated in highly purified N2 and CO2 atmospheres by a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under different heating rates (10, 20, and 40°C/min). The results indicated that the total residual mass in CO2 atmosphere (16.86%) was less than in N2 atmosphere (23.12%); in addition, the kinetics of microalgae in N2 and CO2 atmospheres could be described by the pseudo bicomponent separated state model (PBSM) and pseudo-multi-component overall model (PMOM), respectively. The kinetic parameters calculated by Coats-Redfern method showed that, in CO2 atmosphere, the apparent activation energy (E) of microalgae was between 9.863 and 309.381 kJ mol−1 and the reaction order (n) was varied from 1.1 to 7. The kinetic parameters (E,n) of the second stage in CO2 atmosphere were quite similar to those in N2 atmosphere.

Wood has been treated with amino resins and amino resins modified with phosphoric acid to impart flame retardancy. The thermal degradation of samples has been studied by thermogravimetry (TG) in air. From the resulting data, kinetic parameters for different stages of thermal degradation are obtained following the method of Broido. For the decomposition of wood and flame retardant wood, the activation energy is found to decrease from 122 to 72 kJmol-1.

Two kinds of thermoplastic polyimides (PIs) were synthesized via a two-step method with 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane (BAPP), 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA) diamine, and 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA), and their thermal degradation kinetics was studied by thermogravimetric analysis at different heating rates under nitrogen. Derivative thermogravimetric analysis curves indicated a simple, single-stage degradation process in PI BTDA-BAPP and a two-stage degradation process in PI BTDA-ODA-BAPP. The activation energies ( Eas) of the thermal degradation reaction were determined by the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose methods without a knowledge of the kinetic reaction mechanism. By comparing the values of Ea and weight loss temperatures, it was demonstrated that the thermal stability of PI BTDA-ODA-BAPP was superior to that of PI BTDA-BAPP.

A new conjugated polymer containing a bithiazole group is prepared by the polycondensation of 2,2'-diamino-4,4'-bithiazole and terephthaldialdehyde in the presence of glacial acetic acid. The kinetics of thermal degradation of the new polymer are investigated by thermogravimetric analysis at different heating rates. The temperature corresponding to the maximum rate loss shifts to higher temperatures with increasing heating rate. The thermal decomposition activation energies of the conjugated polymer in a conversion range of 3–15 % are 288.4 and 281.1 kJ/mol by the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa and Kissinger methods, respectively. The Horowitz–Metzger method shows that the thermodegradation mechanism of the conjugated polymer proceeds over a three-dimensional diffusion type deceleration D3 mechanism. The optimum heating rate is 20 ºC/min.

The thermal decomposition kinetics of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and flame-retardant PBT (FR-PBT) were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis at various heating rates. The kinetic parameters were determined by using Kissinger, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Friedman methods. The y (α) and z (α) master plots were used to identify the thermal decomposition model. The results show that the rate of residual carbon of FR-PBT is higher than that of PBT and the maximum mass loss rate of FR-PBT is lower than that of PBT. The values of activation energy of PBT (208.71 kJ/mol) and FR-PBT (244.78 kJ/mol) calculated by Kissinger method were higher than those of PBT (PBT: 195.54 kJ/mol) and FR-PBT (FR-PBT: 196.00 kJ/mol) calculated by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method and those of PBT and FR-PBT (PBT: 199.10 kJ/mol, FR-PBT: 206.03 kJ/mol) calculated by Friedman methods. There is a common thing that the values of activation energy of FR-PBT are higher than that of PBT in different methods. The thermal decomposition reaction models of the PBT and FR-PBT can be described by Avarami-Erofeyev model (A1).

Thermal behaviors and combustion kinetics of Thai lignite with different SO3-free CaO contents were investigated. Nonisothermal thermogravimetric method was carried out under oxygen environment at heating rates of 10, 30, and 50°C min−1from ambient up to 1300°C. Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods were adopted to estimate the apparent activation energy (E) for the thermal decomposition of these coals. Different thermal degradation behaviors were observed in lignites with low (14%) and high (42%) CaO content. Activation energy of the lignite combustion was found to vary with the conversion fraction. In comparison with the KAS method, higherEvalues were obtained by the FWO method for all conversions considered. High CaO lignite was observed to have higher activation energy than the low CaO coal.

ABSTRACTWe report studies of the kinetics of thermal decomposition of triethylgallium (TEGa), trimethylgallium (TMGa), and trimethylindium (TMIn) adsorbed on GaAs(100) in ultrahigh vacuum. The adsorbed layers were prepared by dosing GaAs(100) at room temperature, to either saturated coverage or coverages below saturation. Subsequent heating leads to loss of adsorbed hydrocarbons. The relative coverage of carbon was monitored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and products were detected with a differentially pumped quadrupole mass spectrometer. The kinetic analysis also includes measurements of laser-induced, rapid thermal decomposition (heating rates of ∼1011°C/s).TEGa dissociatively chemisorbs on GaAs(100). Heating the substrate results in desorption of diethylgallium radicals at low temperature and C2H4 (and some C2H5) at higher temperatures, after most of the diethylgallium has desorbed. TMGa decomposes to yield a Ga-alkyl desorption product (either dimethylgallium, or a mixture of dimethylgallium and TMGa) at low temperature and CH3 at higher temperature. TMIn undergoes a methyl exchange reaction on GaAs(100) where a Ga-alkyl desorbs with the same cracking pattern as in TMGa decomposition. Decomposition mechanisms for these group-III metal alkyls are proposed, Arrhenius parameters are presented, and some implications are discussed for growth of Ga-containing III-V compound semiconductor films from these precursors by chemical vapor deposition and molecular beam techniques.
