PSTA-Principle

The kinetic parameters of solid-state reactions are not intrinsic properties of an investigated compound, but they can change depending on the thermoanalytical conditions applied (PSTA-principle: Parametric Sensitivity of Thermal Analysis). One can demonstrate the PSTA-principle for changes in sample mass, gas concentration and flow rate. Combined with model-fitting techniques, the fundamental PSTA-principle is a prerequisite for a reliable solid state kinetic analysis. For more information see: B. Roduit et al., Influence of experimental conditions on the kinetic parameters of gas-solid reactions, Parametric Sensitivity of Thermal Analysis, Thermochimica Acta 282/283 (1996) 101-119.
