Original Abstract

The alpha -> beta transformation between orthorhombic (alpha) and hexagonal (beta) polymorphs of strontium carbonate has significant effect on the behavior of SrCO3 during thermal treatment. The kinetics, mechanism and thermodynamics of activated complex in the process of thermal decomposition were investigated by non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) using mechanism-free (Kissinger equation) as well as kinetic function fitting methods. Both techniques as well as the calculation of theoretical activation energy (third law method) show that the transformation of alpha-SrCO3 to beta-SrCO3 reduces the activation energy and changes the mechanism of the process.
