The pyrolysis of ethyl propionate has been studied in the temperature range 505–602 °C, yielding the Arrhenius equation[Formula: see text]By the copyrolysis of this compound with ethyl-d5 acetate at 384 and 488 °C, and comparison of this temperature coefficient with that for the isotopic ethyl acetates, an activation energy difference between ethyl acetate and propionate of 20 ± 65 cal/mole was found, rather than 500 cal/mole as indicated in the individual studies. Since other evidence exists for an inductive effect in the decomposition due to the acid alkyl group, the lack of difference in activation energies is attributed to the change in effect being small and obscured by other effects.

In present work, the thermal decomposition behaviour and kinetics of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids is studied by use of models derived from mass-loss data obtained from thermogravimetric analysis of Scenedesmus microalgae. The experimental results together with known decomposition temperature range values obtained from various literature were used in a deconvolution technique to model the thermal decomposition of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. The models fitted well (R2 > 0.99) and revealed that the proteins have the highest reactivity followed by lipids and carbohydrates. Generally, the decomposition kinetics fitted well with the Coats-Redfern first and second order kinetics as evidenced by the high coefficients of determination (R2 > 0.9). For the experimental conditions used in this work (i.e. high heating rates), the thermal decomposition of protein follows second order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 225.3-255.6 kJ/mol. The thermal decomposition of carbohydrate also follows second order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 87.2-101.1 kJ/mol. The thermal decomposition of lipid follows first order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 45-64.8 kJ/ mol. This work shows that the thermal decomposition kinetics of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be performed without the need of experimentally isolating the individual components from the bulk material. Furthermore, it was shown that at high heating rates, the decomposition temperatures of the individual components overlap resulting in some interactions that have a synergistic effect on the thermal reactivity of carbohydrates and lipids.

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).

Abstract Wood-SiO2 composites (WSiO2Cs) were prepared by means of the sol-gel process with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) as a reagent, and the physical properties, structure and thermal decomposition kinetics of the composites has been evaluated. The dimensional stability of the WSiO2Cs was better than that of unmodified wood, especially in terms of the weight percent gain (WPG), which achieved values up to 30%. The 29Si-NMR spectra show two different siloxane peaks (T2 and T3), which supports the theory about the formation of MTMOS network structures. Thermal decomposition experiments were also carried out in a TG analyzer under a nitrogen atmosphere. The apparent activation energy was determined according to the iso-conversional methods of Friedman, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, modified Coats-Redfern, and Starink. The apparent activation energy between 10 and 70% conversion is 147–172, 170–291, 189–251, and 192–248 kJ mol−1 for wood and WSiO2Cs with WPGs of 10, 20, and 30%, respectively. However, the reaction order between 10 and 70% conversion calculated by the Avrami theory was 0.50–0.56, 0.35–0.45, 0.33–0.44, and 0.28–0.48. These results indicate that the dimensional and thermal stability of the wood could be effectively enhanced by MTMOS treatment.

The thermal decomposition of vinyl isopropyl ether in the presence of toluene has been studied in a flow system in the temperature range 447–521 °C. In this range, the data indicate a purely intramolecular decomposition into propylene and acetaldehyde, the activation energy for the reaction being in close agreement with that found for the decomposition of vinyl ethyl ether. At 570 °C. a minor free radical decomposition of the ether becomes apparent. Some qualitative studies of the decomposition of vinyl isobutyl ether are also reported.

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.

The activation energy has been determined in the temperature range 170-198�. If the sample was spread the activation energy was independent of the definition of the kinetic parameter substituted in the Arrhenius equation and was 63 kcal mole-1. In the case of the unspread samples the activation energies of the induction, acceleration, and maximum rates were 49, 43, and 62 kcal mole-1 respectively. The effect that sample geometry has on the activation energy is attributed to gaseous decomposition products influencing the reaction.

In this work the kinetics of the thermal decomposition of two ß-diketone lanthanide complexes of the general formula Ln(thd)3phen (where Ln = Nd+3 or Tm+3, thd = 2,2,6,6- tetramethyl-3,5-heptanodione and phen = 1,10-phenantroline) has been studied. The powders were characterized by several techniques. Thermal decomposition of the complexes was studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetry techniques. The kinetic model that best describes the process of the thermal decomposition of the complexes it was determined through the method proposed by Coats-Redfern. The average values the activation energy obtained were 136 and 114 kJ.mol-1 for the complexes Nd(thd)3phen and Tm(thd)3phen, respectively. The kinetic models that best described the thermal decomposition reaction the both complexes were R2. The model R2 indicating that the mechanism is controlled by phase-boundary reaction (cylindrical symmetry) and is defined by the function g(α) = 2[1-(1-a)1/2], indicating a mean reaction order. The values of activation energy suggests the following decreasing order of stability: Nd(thd)3phen > Tm(thd)3phen.

Kinetics Of

At temperatures of the order of 250 °C., popcorn polymer undergoes decomposition to soluble polymer. The reaction is catalyzed by peroxides present in the popcorn when the latter is formed. These peroxides may be removed by extracting the polymer with benzene. The kinetics of both the catalyzed and purely thermal solubilization reactions were investigated. The rates of both reactions are first order, the catalyzed degradation having a higher activation energy and a higher frequency factor. The rate of the thermal reaction decreases and its activation energy increases with increasing butadiene content of the polymer. A linear relation between the activation energy and the log of the frequency factor, for the decomposition of popcorn polymers of different butadiene contents, was observed. The results indicate that the rate of solubilization is determined by the activation energy of the bond scission process, and is independent of the degree of cross-linking of the polymer.
