Abstract:Sodium naproxen (SN) exists in an anhydrous form and in four different hydrated forms: one monohydrate (MSN), two dehydrates (DSN and CSN) and one tetrahydrate (TSN). Mechanisms of dehydration have been previously determined by an isothermal method [1,2]. In this study, their dehydration was followed by an isoconvertional analysis (ICA), which is based on a nonisothermal method.
Results:For each hydrate form, the degre of conversion (% dehydration) was plotted versus temperature at any heating rate. The tempe… Show more
