Abstract: | Through temperature-programmed pyrolysis, the physicochemical properties of Pteria martensii (PM) before and after calcination are investigated. Our results show that the mass loss is 11.02% from room temperature to 600 °C with an average mass loss rate of 0.19% per min. The decomposition of organics coupling with the phase transition of calcium carbonate from aragonite to calcite occurs in the range of 367.4–423.0 °C, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. The decomposition pores and channels are changed forming complex porous structures. The surface of sample shows a much rougher fracture, with higher C, O and N element concentrations. At the stage of decomposition and phase transition of organics, the average activation energy value is 118.78 kJ mol?1. This study provides valuable information on the calcination process and calcined PM for use in medicines. |
