Thermal decomposition curves of lycoramine hydrobromide were obtained in the nitrogen by thermogravimetry coupled with infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR). Four thermal analysis kinetic methods, for example, Achar, Coats-Redfern, Kissingers, and Ozawa methods were used to speculate the probable mechanisms of the thermal decomposing reaction and the kinetic parameters (apparent activation energy E a and preexponential factor A). The shelf life of lycoramine hydrobromide at room temperature was calculated by the kinetics parameters. According to the theoretical calculations of thermogravimetrydifferential thermal analysis (TG-DTG), infrared spectra, and bond levels, the decomposition of lycoramine was divided into three stages. The first stage started from 227.3 to 312.3 • C, chemical bonds between oxygen atoms and carbon atoms cracked and released alcohol material. The most acceptable mechanism is a chemical reaction control mechanism, which conforms to the reaction series equation, with f(α) = 2(1 − α) 3/2 . In the second stage, starting from 312.3 to 392.3°C, gases such as CO, CO 2 , amines, and NH 3 produced by lycoramine hydrobromide decomposition were released. The most expected mechanism is a chemical reaction, F3, deceleration type α-t curve, which meets the three-stage function, f(α) = 1/2(1 − α) 3 . In the third stage, the residual molecular skeleton (toluene) was thermally cracked deeply from 392.3 • C to the end and the gases such as CO 2, H 2 O, and NH 3 were released. According to the kinetic parameters of thermolysis at the first stage, the shelf life of lycoramine hydrobromide was inferred, which was 4-5 years at room temperature (25 • C).
