In the present work ionic liquid has been used for the regeneration of cellulose from waste writing paper. The regenerated cellulose was characterized by TGA, FTIR and XRD analyses. Kinetics of thermal degradation of this cellulose was carried out under dynamic condition using thermogravimetry. Coats-Redfern kinetic model was used to determine the kinetic parameters for the degradation process. The activation energy for the thermal degradation of the regenerated cellulose has been found to be less than the precursor waste paper.

In the present work, the thermal degradation kinetics of a phenolic (PF) and lignin particle-reinforced phenolic (LRPF) foam and the lignin used as the reinforcement (LR) were studied. The activation energies of the degradation processes were obtained using a discrete distributed activation energy model (discrete DAEM) and the Vyazovkin model-free kinetic (MFK) method. The discrete DAEM was validated by comparing the predicted values with the data obtained at 8 °C min−1. Heating ramps of 6 and 12 °C min−1 were used to calculate the kinetic parameters through the model. The effect of the reinforcement on the kinetics of the LRPF was studied by comparison with the results obtained for the PF. For reactions with non-zero mass fractions, the activation energies of the PF were in the range between 79.9 and 177.6 kJ mol−1, and the activation energy for the LRPF ranged from 91 to 187 kJ mol−1. For the LR, the activation energy values were in a narrower range than for the foams: 150–187 kJ mol−1. The degradation process of the LRPF was modified due to the use of LR: the range of activation energy for LRPF was between the ranges for the PF and LR. The activation energy dependence on conversion was also calculated using the Vyazovkin method and compared with the DAEM results; no compensation effect for the kinetic parameters was found.

Rubber vulcanization is kinetically a complex process, since it consists of two simultaneous reactions: curing and degradation. To determine reaction kinetics, it is necessary to determine a kinetic model which describes the process adequately. Proposed kinetic model has six adjustable parameters. In order to determine kinetic parameters of the proposed kinetic model, commercially available rubber gum was used. Oscillating disc rheometer was used to investigate experimental dependence of torque on time, at six temperatures in the range from 130 to 180 °C, with a step of 10 °C. Matlab application, built via App Designer feature, was developed in order to fit the experimental data to the proposed kinetic model. Developed Matlab application, consisting of two tabs, enables user to upload raw rheometer data, perform manual fitting or automatic fitting (manual or automatic estimation of initial values of adjustable parameters), test the effect of constant values of some kinetic parameters on the overall quality of fit, visualize the dependence of kinetic parameters on temperature and to determine the values of Arrhenius expression for curing and degradation process. Both fitting methods were proven to be efficient; overall determination coefficient and MAPE value for automatic and manual fitting methods were >0.99 and <1%, and >0.999 and <1%, respectively. Arrhenius parameters were also determined with high accuracy (R2>0.98). Developed application enables simple and efficient determination of kinetic parameters by means of different fitting methods, simultaneous fitting of data on all temperatures, and testing the effect of constant kinetic parameters values on fitting results

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.

Abstract In this research work, thermal decomposition and kinetic analysis of pure and contaminated imidazolium based ionic liquid (IL) has been investigated. As thermal decomposition and kinetics evaluation plays a pivotal role in effective process design. Therefore, thermal stability of pure 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride (BDMIMCl) was found to be higher than the sample of IL with the addition of 20% (wt.) NH4Cl as an impurity. The activation energy of thermal degradation of IL and other kinetic parameters were determined using Coats Redfern method. The activation energy for pure IL was reduced in the presence of NH4Cl as contaminant i.e., from 58.7 kJ/mol to 46.4 kJ/mol.

Pyrolysis and kinetic analysis of Xanthoceras Sorbifolia polysaccharide were evaluated using the TG-DTG/DTA method. The results indicated that its mass loss occured in three-step process . The first step could be attributed to the expulsion of water of crystallization at 25 - 176 °C. The second step corresponded to the large scale degradation of X. Sorbifolia polysaccharide in the temperature range of 179 - 661 °C. The final step was slow degradation of residues. Heating rate had significant effects on the pyrolysis of X. Sorbifolia polysaccharide and nitrogen could improve its stability. A close value of activation energy E of the thermal degradation process has been obtained by FWO, KAS and Popescu methods. The possible kinetic model was estimated to be Jander 5 (g(α)=[1-(1-α)1/3]1/2.

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.

Thermogravimetric analysis was used to investigate oxy combustion of corncob and stover. The biomass samples were heated from ambient temperature to 900°C at different heating rates of 10, 30, and 50 K/min. Both biomass samples showed similar weight loss patterns with three zones, corresponding to dehydration, devolatilization, and char combustion, but displayed different degradation temperatures. Increasing heating rate was found to shift the degradation patterns to higher temperatures. Decomposition rates of cob and stover may have been influenced by their lignocellulosic composition. The kinetic parameters of the thermal degradation process were also determined and compared using the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose methods. Both methods were found to give similar values and patterns of activation energy against conversion fraction. The average values were found to be in similar magnitude to those reported in the literature, around 170 and 148 kJ/mol for cob and stover, respectively.

Thermal degradation behaviour of the Ni(II) complex of 3,4-methylenedioxaphenylaminoglyoxime was investigated by TG, DTA, and DTG at a heating rate of 10°C min−1under dinitrogen. The acquired experimental data shows that the complex is thermally stable up to 541 K. The pyrolytic decomposition process occurs by melting metal complex and metal oxide remains as final product. The energies of the reactions involved and the mechanism of decomposition at each stage have been examined. The values of kinetic parameters such as activation energy (E), preexponential factor (A) and thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS), and Gibbs free energy (ΔG) are also evaluated.

AbstractThe thermal degradation behaviors of PC/PMPSQ (polymethylphenylsilsesquioxane) systems were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under non-isothermal conditions in nitrogen atmosphere. During non-isothermal degradation, Kissinger and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa methods were used to analyze the thermal degradation process. The results showed that a remarkable decrease in activation energy ( E ) was observed in the early and middle stages of thermal degradation in the presence of PMPSQ, which indicated that the addition of PMPSQ promoted the thermal degradation of PC. Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method further revealed that PMPSQ significantly increased the activation energy of PC thermal degradation in the final stage, which illustrated that the PMPSQ stabilized the char residues and improved the flame retardancy of PC in the final period of thermal degradation process
