Study of the thermal decomposition of solids in a fluidized bed, II

Abstract

In order to eliminate the errors of the TG method with a static layer, and to determine the infuence of the heating rate, the composition of the carrier gas and the particle size of the solids, a method of thermal gas evolution from a fluidized bed (FTGE) with continuous and linear increase of temperature was worked out and the thermal decomposition of diammonium hydrogen phosphate was followed. This method gives reproducible results and makes possible the determination of the apparent activation energies and kinetic parameters.
