Abstract. Thermal decomposition of α-terpinyl-β-D-glucapyranoside was studied by DTA/SDTG and DSC. The heating rate was 5, 7.5, 10 and 15 K/min, and the samples were heated from the 30 to 500℃, the methods of Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa were applied to calculate the parameters of thermal degradation. Degradation mechanism was estimated by the methods of Coats-Redfern and Phadnis-Deshpande. TG-DTG curves showed that with the increased heating rate, the mass of α-terpinyl-β-D-glucapyranoside of starting loss T 0 , the biggest rate of mass loss T p and final mass loss T f all have linear increase. So that thermal degradation temperature was mainly influenced by the heating rate B. The DSC curves showed that melting and decomposition proceeded at same time. By Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, the activate energy of Ea were 216.63 KJ/mol and 206.18 KJ/mol respectively, with well correlation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
