Abstract:

The thermal decomposition processes occurring in the solid state ZnAc2·2H2Owere studied in air atmosphere by using TG-DTG/DTA, DSC and XRD techniques. TG-DTG/DTA, DSC curves show that the decomposition proceeded through two well-defined steps in air atmosphore. Mass loss of the thermal decomposition of ZnAc2·2H2O is in good agreement with the theoretical mass loss. XRD shows that the final product of the thermal decomposition was ZnO. The activation energies were calculated through the Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa(FWO) methods, and the possible conversion functions were estimated through the multiple-linear regression method. The activation energies for the two decomposition reactions of ZnAc2·2H2Owere 119.82 and 66.82 kJ/mol, respectively.
