Kissinger kinetic analysis of data obtained under different heating schedules. Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 94 (2), 427-432.1388-6150 (impreso)1588-2926 (electrónico)https://hdl.handle.net/11441/70456The dynamic heating rate method developed by TA Instruments ( Hi-Res ™ ) is a kind of sample controlled thermal analysis in which a linear relati onship between the logarith m of the heating rate and the rate of weight change is imposed. It is s hown in this paper that the reacted fraction at the maximum reaction rate strongly depends on the parameters selected for the Hi-Res heating algorithm, what invalidates the use of the Kissinger method for analysing Hi-Res data unless that the reaction fits a first order kinetic law. Only in this latter case, it has been demonstrated that it is not required that a constant value of the reacted fr action at the maximum reaction rate is fulfilled for determining the activation energy from the Kissi nger method. In such a case the Kissinger plot gives the real activation energy, independently of both the heating schedule used and the value of the reacted fraction, α m , at the maximum.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1007/s10973-008-9200-2
