Kinetic analysis of the decomposition of calcium carbonate using Danyang limestone
Non-isothermal behaviors of calcium carbonate using Danyang limestone were investigated. It was attempted to provide non-isothermal data with a precision sufficient for the determination of reliable decomposition behaviors and for the estimation of accurate kinetic parameter. The decomposition temperature of calcium carbonate on the onset, peak and final point were measured. Reaction rate was decreased and maximum reaction temperature was increased with increasing heating rate. Activation energy of Danyang limestone was 45.14kcal/mol and 50.80kcal/mol by Kissinger method and Freeman method, respectively.
