Abstract

Thermal decomposition and hydrothermal reactions of aluminum oxides and hydroxides were studied. The starting material was gibbsite pretreated by grinding in different ways. Sixteen kinetic models were fitted and the rate constants were estimated at different temperatures. Mechanical activation of the starting gibbsite had an effect on the reactivity of samples in several subsequent reactions.

A new quantity, the relative residual variance is defined for comparison of different linearized models, and it is proposed as a criterion of fit. This was applied in making statistics in order to find the well-fitting models.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurden die thermische Zersetzung und hydrothermische Reaktionen von Aluminiumoxiden und -hydroxiden untersucht. Das Ausgangsmaterial war Gibbsit, welches durch Zerkleinern auf verschiedene Weise vorbereitet wurde. Es wurden sechzehn kinetische Modelle angewendet und bei verschiedenen Temperaturen die Gesch-windigkeitskonstanten geschätzt. Die mechanische Aktivierung des Ausgangsmateriales Gibbsit beeinflu\t die Reaktivität der Proben in einigen Folgereaktionen.

Für den Vergleich verschiedener Linearisationsmodelle wurde eine neue Grö\e, die relative Restvarianz definiert, die als Kriterium für die Anpassungsgüte vorgeschlagen wird. Dies wurde bei statistischen Untersuchungen angewendet, um die bestangepa\ten Modelle zu finden.
