Abstract

A software package to determine the non-isothermal kinetic parameters of heterogeneous reactions has been developed. The dynamic handle of conversion degree step and ranges, heating rates and kinetic models makes the evaluation of the activation parameters much faster. The standard procedure: ‘model-free’ kineitc, IKP and Perez-Maqueda et al. methods, is applied for the determination of the kinetic triplet corresponding to thermal induced transformations. The software is designed mainly for thermogravimetric, temperature programmed reduction and dilatometry data processing, but may also import already transformed numeric data.
