KINETICS OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF AZOBISISOBUTYRONITRILE IN HETEROGENEOUS MEDIA

摘要

In this paper, the rate of thermal decomposition of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) in a liquid paraffin was measured. at 363 K wherein AIBN particle was not completely dissolved and decomposed at the early stages of overall decomposition process. A kinetic model was proposed to describe the decomposition process of AIBN before complete dissolution. The influence of the catalyst SnCl4 on AIBN decomposition in heterogeneous media was also investigated. [References: 14]
