Thermal Physics and Thermal Analysis

Abstract

The historical development of the thermal analysis methods that imply an intelligent control of the reaction temperature by the own sample (SCTA) is outlined. It has been shown that the precise control of the reaction rate involved in SCTA enables a control, either direct or indirect, of both the partial pressure of the gases generated/consumed by the reaction and the heat evolution/adsorption rate associated to the reaction. This control allows to minimize the influences of heat and mass transfer phenomena and to obtain real kinetic parameters of the forward reaction that occur under the conditions far from the equilibrium. Moreover, it is shown that the shape of αT plots obtained under constant rate of transformation (CRTA) is strongly dependent on the kinetic model, while the αT plots obtained using the conventional linear nonisothermal method represent a sigmoidal shape irrespective of the kinetic model. Thus, CRTA has a considerably higher resolution power for discriminating the kinetic model obeyed by the reaction. The applications of SCTA methods both for the kinetic analysis of solid-state reactions and for the synthesis of materials with controlled texture and/or structure have been reviewed. The chapter contains 202 references.
