Abstract

This paper has the intension of discussing about the published paper by Wu et al. (J Therm Anal Calorim 119:2195–2203, 2015). The original paper has shown some errors in quoting and using the Coats–Redfern integral kinetic equation. This discussion is focused on the employment of this model, and some arguments and clarifications are also given.
