A key issue in kinetic analysis is the prediction of the evolution of a thermally stimulated solid-state reaction for a given isothermal temperature from nonisothermal kinetic parameters. However, the conventional methods neglect the dependence of the activation energy on the conversion degree during the isothermal process; therefore, they may lead to some important errors in the isothermal kinetic predictions when the kinetic parameters vary significantly with the conversion degree. A new method for the determination of the isothermal conversion-time data from the nonisothermal kinetic parameters determined by the iterative linear integral isoconversional method has been developed. Two theoretically simulated data sets have been analyzed. And the analysis results have shown that the new method can give accurate isothermal kinetic predictions.
