Abstract

Thermal decomposition of cellulose hyphan (CH) and its complexes with Lu, Gd, Nd and Sc under an atmosphere of air has been studied using thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermogravimetry (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The results showed that, a different stages are accompanying the decomposition of (CH) and its complexes. These stages are affected by the presence of the metal ions. On the basis of the applicability of a non-isothermal kinetic equation, it was demonstrated that three main stages are involved in the decomposition processes. The activation energies of the different stages are calculated.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels TG, DTG und DTA wurde die thermische Zersetzung von Cellulosehyphan (CH) und seiner komplexe mit Lu, Gd, Nd und Sc an Luft untersucht. Es zeigte sich, da\ die Zersetzung von (CH) und seiner Komplexe von verschiedenen Schritten begleitet werden. Diese Schritte werden durch die Gegenwart der Metallionen beeinflu\t. Unter der Annahme der Anwendbarkeit einer nichtisothermen kinetischen Gleichung wurde gezeigt, da\ im Zersetzungsproze\ drei Hauptschritte inbegriffen sind. Die Aktivierungsenergie der verschiedenen Schritte wurde berechnet.
