Abstract
A new version of the Stepwise Isothermal Analysis technique is described in which the temperature is forced to increase in predetermined steps during the reaction. Data obtained by this technique can be used to determine not only the controlling mechanism but also the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor in the Arrhenius equation.
As a demonstration of the advantages of this technique the results obtained in a kinetic study of the thermal decomposition of cerium carbonate in different atmospheres is described.
