| Abstract: | Solid-state reactions take place by different rate-controlling heterogeneous processes. To find the appropriate kinetic model for a particular solid-state reaction, a genetic algorithm-based simulation technique was carried out using DTA data with a fitness function, and a computer program was developed for the same. The process was applied to the decomposition reactions of limestone and magnesite samples. It was observed that both the decomposition reactions mostly followed the Avrami–Erofeev kinetics model. |
