Abstract

An isothermal method was applied to measure the thermal decomposition of reactive solids in a sensitive heat flux reaction calorimeter, C80. This technique experimentally clarified the decomposition mechanisms of unstable substances based on the shapes of the heat flow curves, from which autocatalysis, first-order reaction or pseudo-autocatalytic reaction could be recognized. Kinetic parameters were derived from the measured data.
