Kinetics of Heterogeneous Solid State Processes

Download or read book Kinetics of Heterogeneous Solid State Processes written by Pritam Deb and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kinetic studies have traditionally being extremely useful in characterizing several physical and chemical phenomena in organic, inorganic and metallic systems. It provides valuable qualitative, quantitative and kinetic information on phase transformations, solid state precipitation, crystallization, oxidation and decomposition. Unfortunately, no single reference comprehensively presents nonisothermal kinetic analysis method for the study of complex processes, determining the actual mechanism and kinetic parameters. This book provides a new method for nonisothermal kinetics and its application in heterogeneous solid state processes. In the backdrop of limitations in existing methods, the book presents a brief review of the widely used isothermal and nonisothermal kinetic analysis methods.
