Kinetics of catalytic carbon black oxidation

Kinetics of the catalyzed oxidation of carbon black (CB) in the presence of Ce-Al oxides is studied. The activation energies for CB combustion are determined from the DTA-TG data. The catalysts performances are compared on the basis of thermal analysis and calculated kinetic parameters. In this investigation, a convenient method for the rapid calculation of the kinetic parameters from single DTA-TG curves is proposed.
