Abstract

The thermal dehydration kinetics of crystalline powders of (COOH)2 · 2 H2O was examined by thermogravimetry both at constant and linearly increasing temperatures. An Avrami-Erofeyev law is found to hold with a possibility that a phase-boundary controlled reaction proceeds simultaneously. This is supported by the particle size effect on the rate constant. The activation energyE for the dehydration is estimated as around 80 kJ mol−1. It is likely that the effects of particle size and temperature onE are compensated by those on the frequency factorA.

Zusammenfassung

Die Kinetik der thermischen Dehydratisierung von kristallinen Pulvern von (COOH)2 · 2 H2O wurde thermogravimetrisch bei konstanter und linear ansteigender Temperatur untersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, da\ das Avrami-Erofeyev-Gesetz gefolgt wird und die Möglichkeit besteht, da\ gleichzeitig eine phasen grenzflÄchen-kontrollierte Reaktion verlÄuft. Dies wird durch die Beeinflussung der Geschwindigkeitskonstante durch die Partikelgrö\e unterstützt. Die AktivierungsenergieE für die Dehydratisierung wurde zu etwa 80 kJ mol−1 gefunden. Es ist wahrscheinlich, da\ die Effekte von Partikelgrö\e und Temperatur aufE durch den des HÄufigkeitsfaktorsA kompensiert werden.
