Abstract

A kinetic study of the dehydration and decomposition of γ-irradiated and unirradiated Na2[Co(C4H4O4)2]·7H2O has been studied using isothermal and dynamic thermogravimetric methods. The thermal dehydration occurs in one step regulated by a random nucleation model (A3), while the decomposition of anhydrous salt is controlled by a phase boundary controlled model (R3). The kinetic parameters obtained at three heating rates are in good agreement; however, the values of the kinetic parameters estimated isothermally are slightly different from those estimated dynamically. Irradiation enhanced both the dehydration and the decomposition reactions but did not modify their mechanisms. The activation energy decreases as the irradiation dose increases.

Zusammenfassung

Unter Anwendung von isothermen und dynamischen thermogravimetrischen Methoden wurde eine kinetische Untersuchung der Dehydratation und der Zersetzung von γ-bestrahltem und unbestrahltem Na2[Co(C4H4O4)2]·7H2O durchgeführt. Die thermische Dehydratation erfolgt in einem Schritt, bestimmt durch ein Random-Keimbildungsmodell (A3), während die Zersetzung der wasserfreien Salze durch ein phasengrenzenkontrolliertes Modell bestimmt wird (R3). Die bei drei Aufheizgeschwindigkeiten erhaltenen kinetischen Parameter stehen in guter Übereinstimmung; jedoch weichen die isotherm geschätzten kinetischen Parameter etwas von den dynamisch ermittelten ab. Bestrahlung mehrt sowohl die Dehydratations- als auch die Zersetzungsreaktionen, beläßt deren Mechanismus jedoch unverändert. Die Aktivierungsenergie sinkt mit zunehmender Strahlungsdosis.
