Thermoanalytical kinetics for solid state reactions as exemplified by the thermal dehydration of Li2SO4 · H2O

The fundamental problems in the thermoanalytical kinetics of solid state reactions were investigated as exemplified by the thermal dehydration of Li 2 SO 4 · H 2 O. Distortion of the Arrhenius parameters and their consequent interdependence are described mathematically. A possible way to increase the reliability of the thermoanalytical kinetic study is discussed in connection with the possibility of the establishment of a kinetic standard.
