THE THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF OXALATES .26. A KINETICS STUDY OF THE THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF MANGANESE(II) OXALATE DIHYDRATE

The determination of the most probable mechanism function and calculation of the kinetic parameters of decomposition of manganese oxalate have been achieved by a new kinetic analysis procedure under nonisothermal conditions in both dry and wet N2. The isothermal kinetic analysis has also been performed in each atmosphere. Both the isothermal and nonisothermal analyses showed the most probable mechanism function is first order (Fl). The coincidence of results obtained by isothermal and nonisothermal analysis supports the idea that the proposed analysis procedure for nonisothermal conditions is a promising one.
