Area of Science:

  • Chemical kinetics
  • Thermal analysis
  • Numerical simulation

Background:

  • Thermal analysis techniques like DTA, TG, DTG, and DSC are crucial for studying chemical processes.
  • Understanding the interplay between heat exchange and reaction kinetics is vital for accurate thermal analysis simulations.
  • Existing methods may not fully integrate heat transfer and kinetic influences on reaction rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce SYMTERM, a numerical simulation program for chemical processes in thermal analysis.
  • To account for heat exchange between sample and environment in simulations.
  • To investigate the influence of reaction-generated heat on chemical kinetics.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulations of chemical processes using the SYMTERM program.

  • Incorporation of heat exchange dynamics between sample and environment.
  • Modeling the impact of exothermic or endothermic reactions on reaction kinetics.
  • Simultaneous analysis of Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) or Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG) data.

    • Main Results:

    • SYMTERM generates kinetic profiles (DTA, TG, DTG, DSC curves) at various heating rates.
    • The program enables the determination of activation energy (Eact).
    • Reaction order for single, rate-limited step reactions can be accurately determined.

    Conclusions:

    • SYMTERM provides a robust tool for simulating and analyzing chemical processes in thermal analysis.
    • The program's ability to integrate heat transfer and kinetic effects enhances simulation accuracy.
    • Simultaneous use of DTA/DSC and TG data allows for reliable determination of kinetic parameters.
