Abstract

The Kissinger method is one of the most popular approaches for determining kinetic parameters from the nonisothermal processes. The applicability of the Kissinger model in describing the nonisothermal crystallization was verified using the data of the simulated experiments with the given crystallization mechanism. The results show that the data of the Monte Carlo experiments for nonisothermal crystallization can be used to evaluate the nonisothermal crystallization model. The Kissinger model can be used to estimate the parameter of the activation energy of the nonisothermal crystallization from the DSC curves with the different heating rates, but unsuitable to obtain the parameter from the DSC curves with the different cooling rates.
