Thermal Stability and Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Dicyanamide
Thermal stability and thermal decomposition kinetics of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([bmin(+)][N(CN)(2)(-)]) were investigated using both isothermal and non-isothermal thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) under high pure nitrogen as carrier gas. The long-term thermogravimetric studies revealed that the highest temperature used should be 110 degrees C, at which [bmin(+)][N(CN)(2)(-)] lost less than 10% by mass in 10 hours. The non-isothermal activation energy values determined using Friedman and ASTM methods were (150 +/- 13) and (147 +/- 2) kJ.mol(-1), respectively. Multivariate non-linear- regression methods showed that expanded Fn and CnB models were the best fit models with highest correlation coefficient of 0.9994, and the apparent activation energies were consistent with iso-conversional methods.
