TG-EGA Systems

Advantages of AKTS-TA technology

The need for a precise description of material decomposition must be related to the recorded decomposition process at the exact time of the decomposition process. The possible deviation between measured DTG- and EGA-signals is due to convective and diffusional mass transfer in combined thermoanalyzer-EGA systems. If the time lag between the thermoanalytical curve (e.g. DTG) and EGA signal is negligible, the spectroscopic signal can be used not only for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the gaseous products but for the kinetic description of the process as well.

Once the kinetic analysis of the thermoanalytical data has proceeded, AKTS-Thermokinetics software can be applied as a diagnostic tool to predict the solid decomposition and formation of gases evolved from the material degradation at any new user selected temperature mode (non-isothermal, isothermal, stepwise, modulated, rapid temperature increase, adiabatic or for temperature profiles reflecting real atmospheric temperature changes). The latter point plays a very important role in the identification of material transformation and is very valuable in guiding screening and development activities of any, including high performance, materials.
