TL;DR: In this paper, a computing program is described which enables us to find the most probable reaction mechanism from 11 kinetics equations by using a statistic test method, which can be due to diffusion, nucleation, chemical reactions and phase boundary reactions.

TL;DR: The ICTAC Kinetics Project is reviewed comparing the isothermal results of the various contributors, pointing out the various discrepancies seen as mentioned in this paper, and the results of our methods agree very well with each other, but differ very much from the original paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the causes of the wrong performance of reaction kinetics in the field of thermodynamics and propose a solution to the problem of over-simification of reaction equations.
Abstract: I. INTRODUCTION Roughly 20% of thermoanalytical publications deal with reaction kinetics or contain reaction kinetic evaluations.1 Unfortunately, a great portion of these publications have presented contradictory or meaningless results, which induced a great deal of pessimism about the applicability of reaction kinetics for the evaluation of thermoanalytical curves.2–4 In our opinion, however, the cause of the problem must be searched mainly in the application of oversimplified kinetic equations for processes composed from several chemical, physical, and physicochemical subprocesses. Careless experimental work and poor mathematical evaluation techniques have also contributed to the wrong performance of the reaction kinetics in this field. In the present review, we analyze the causes of this situation in detail. The discussion is concerned with the evaluation of nonisothermal experiments on reactions having at least one solid reactant.

TL;DR: In this paper, two methods, Reich-Stivala (R-S) and double-log (D-L), were employed to distinguish one mechanism from among 15 theoretical possibilities for heterogeneous solid-state reactions using theoretical TG data.
