Abstract

The possibilities of the THERMOKIN software package for evaluation of experimental data of solid state thermal decomposition are described. The software package makes it possible to simulate the solid state reactions, to evaluate the results of various thermal analysis methods such as TG/DTG, DSC., evolved gas analysis etc. The software enabled us to choose the adequate model of solid state reactions, to calculate the parameters of reactions and the errors of the parameters. Using this software package the interpretation of the results obtained by various methods of thermal analysis as well as the determination of the optimal experimental conditions for the studied substances can be made.

Zusammenfassung

Die Möglichkeiten des Softwarepaketes THERMOKIN zur Auswertung experimenteller Daten von thermischen Feststoffzersetzungen werden beschrieben. Das Softwarepaket ermöglicht die Simulation von Feststoffreaktionen, die Auswertung der Ergebnisse von verschiedenen thermoanalytischen Methoden, wie z.B. TG/DTG, DSC., Analyse der entstehenden Gase usw. Durch das Softwarepaket wurde es ermöglicht, ein adäquates Modell für die Feststoffreaktion auszuwählen und die Reaktionsparameter sowie deren Fehler zu berechnen. Unter Anwendung dieses Softwarepaketes können einerseits die Ergebnisse aus den verschiedensten thermoanalytischen Verfahren interpretiert und andererseits die optimalen Reaktionsbedingungen für die jeweiligen untersuchten Substanzen ermittelt werden.
