摘要: Thermal dehydration of gypsum and borogypsum was investigated under nonisothermal
conditions in air by using simultaneous thermogravimetric-differentialthermal analyzer.
Nonisothermal experiments were carried out at various linear heating rates. Kinetics of
dehydration in the temperature range of 373-503 K were evaluated from the DTA (differential
thermal analysis)-TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) data by means of Coats-Redfern,Kissinger
and Doyle Equations. Values of the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor of the
dehydration were calculated. The results of thermal experiments and kinetic parameters
indicated that borogypsum is similar to gypsum from dehydration mechanism point of view
although it consists of boron and small amount of alkali metal oxides.
