Abstract
In this paper, the apparent activation energy (AAE) surface was determined by using isothermal data of char combustion and gasification and the apparent Arrhenius equations where the activation parameters depended on temperature and conversion. The dependence of the logarithm of the reaction rate on temperature and conversion was described by the empirical polynomial to increase the accuracy of fitting and the AAE was calculated by the isoconversional method and the fitting of reaction rate and conversion. The AAE surfaces determined for the four examples of char combustion and gasification varied considerably and differently from each other with temperature and conversion. This provides new information for a better understanding of these processes and their kinetic models.
期刊介绍:
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
