TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of heating rate and sample mass on the first two stages of thermal decomposition of calcium oxalate monohydrate in a nitrogen atmosphere has been evaluated in detail using non-isothermal thermogravimetry.

TL;DR: In this article, the first two stages of the thermal decomposition of calcium oxalate monohydrate have been established from non-isothermal thermogravimetric studies, and the rate-controlling processes are phase boundary reactions; the dehydration step assumes spherical symmetry whereas the decomposition step follows cylindrical symmetry.

TL;DR: In this article, the kinetic parameters (energy of activation, E, and preexponential factor, A ) from non-isothermal TG data have been correlated, for the first time, with simultaneous variations of both the procedural factors (heating rate and sample mass) by multiple regression analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal decomposition studies of bis(ethylenediamine)copper(II) chloride monohydrate and bis(methylenediaminescopper (II) bromide monohydrate were carried out using thermogravimetry (TG), derivative thermogram (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) to evaluate the kinetics and mechanism of the dehydration and the deamination stages of both the complexes.
