Comparative kinetic study of decomposition of some diazepine derivatives under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions

Thermal analysis is one of the most widely used methods for studying the solid state of pharmaceutical substances. TG/DTG and DSC curves provide important information regarding the physical properties of the pharmaceutical compounds (stability, compatibility, polymorphism, kinetic analysis, phase transitions etc.). The purpose of a kinetic investigation is to calculate the kinetic parameters and the kinetic model for the studied process. The results are further used to predict the system’s behaviour in various circumstances. A kinetic study regarding the diazepam, nitrazepam and oxazepam thermal decomposition was performed, under non-isothermal and isothermal conditions and in a nitrogen atmosphere, for the temperature steps: 483, 498, 523, 538 and 553 K. The TG/DTG data were processed by three methods: isothermal model-fitting, Friedman’s isothermal-isoconversional and Nomen-Sempere non-parametric kinetics. In the model-fitting methods the kinetic triplets (f(α), A and E _a) that defines a single reaction step resulted in being at variance with the multi-step nature of diazepines decomposition. The model-free approach represented by isothermal and non-isothermal isoconversional methods, gave dependences of the activation energies on the extent of conversion. It is very difficult to obtain an accord with the similar data which resulted under non-isothermal conditions from a previous work. The careful treatment of the kinetic parameters obtained in different thermal conditions was confirmed to be necessary, as well as a different strategy of experimental data processing.     

Kinetics of thermal decomposition of aseptic packages

Kinetics of thermal decomposition of aseptic packages (e.g. Tetrapak cartons) and pyrolysis of this waste in a laboratory flow reactor was studied. Three different models for the calculation of the reaction rate and the determination of apparent kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition were used. The first method assumes a two stage thermal decomposition and the kinetic parameters were determined by fitting a derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curve to experimentally determined thermogravimetric data of whole aseptic cartons. The second method uses kinetic parameters determined by fitting DTG curves to thermogravimetric data of individual components of aseptic packages. The last method was a multi-curve isoconversion method assuming a change of kinetic parameters with the increasing conversion. All types of the determined kinetic parameters were used in a mathematical model for thermal decomposition of mini briquettes made from aseptic packages at the temperature of 650°C. The model calculated also the heat conduction in the particles and it was verified by an independent set of experiments conducted in a laboratory screw type flow reactor.

Thermal behaviour studies of procaine and benzocaine

The analysed substances, procaine and benzocaine, are two anaesthetic agents currently being administered in tablet form, also in the topical (cream, gel, balm) and injectable dosage forms. The TG/DTG/DTA curves were obtained in air at different heating rates. For determination of the heat effects, the DTA curves (in μV) were changed with the heat flow curves (in mW), so that the peak area corresponds to an energy in J g^?1 or kJ mol^?1. The non-isothermal experiments are preformed to investigate the thermal degradation process of these active substances, both as a solid and are performed in a dynamic atmosphere of air at different heating rates, by heating from room temperature to 500 °C. The kinetic analysis was performed using the TG data in air for the first step of substance’s decomposition at four heating rates: 7, 10, 12 and 15 °C min^?1. The data were processed according to an appropriate strategy to the following kinetic methods: Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose, Flynn–Wall–Ozawa, Friedman and NPK, to obtain realistic kinetic parameters, even if the decomposition process is a complex one. Thermal analysis was supplemented using Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy coupled with the TG device to identify the anaesthetics with any products which may have formed (EGA—the evolved gas analysis).

Thermodegradation of poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-crotonic acid-co-divinylbenzene) and N-oxide derivatives

Copolymer networks based on 4-vinylpyridine (4VPy)/crotonic acid (CrA)/divinylbenzene (DVB) and their N-oxide derivatives have been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) to evaluate their thermal stability in nitrogen atmosphere at fixed heating rate. Thermal stability was determined from TG curves to investigate the influence of 4VPy content and introduction of N-oxide groups. The TG and DTG curves of unmodified copolymers clearly show two thermodegradation stage and the same kinetic pathway. The decomposition temperatures do not depend on the 4VPy content. The copolymers modified by oxidation present lower thermostability than unmodified showing that the introduction of N-oxide groups modifies their kinetic pathways. A kinetic model Ozawa was used to determine the kinetic parameters. The apparent thermal decomposition activation energies (ΔE_d) of the unmodified copolymer under nitrogen was higher than that in modified copolymer. Also, the characterizations of copolymer networks were done by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).     

TG studies of a composite solid rocket propellant based on HTPB-binder

Thermal decomposition kinetics of solid rocket propellants based on hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene-HTPB binder was studied by applying the Arrhenius and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa's methods. The thermal decomposition data of the propellant samples were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) at different heating rates in the temperature range of 300-1200 K. TG curves showed that the thermal degradation occurred in three main stages regardless of the plasticizer (DOA) raw material, the partial HTPB/IPDI binder and the total ammonium perchlorate decompositions. The kinetic parameters E _a (activation energy) and A (pre-exponential factor) and the compensation parameter (S _p) were determined. The apparent activation energies obtained from different methods showed a very good agreement. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermal gravimetric analysis of decomposing polymeric Penocom foamed composite

Effective kinetic parameters and a physical mechanism of the thermal and thermo-oxidative decomposition are determined for the new insulating polymeric material Penocom (ρ = 140 kg/m³) upon heating to 800°C at a constant rate from 5 to 20°C/min in an atmosphere of nitrogen and air. It is shown that the thermal decomposition of the foamed composite proceeds in two stages, each of them occurring according to a first-order kinetic law and a random nucleation mechanism. It is found experimentally that thermooxidative decomposition of the foamed composite occurs according to a diffusion mechanism D3 (n = 1/3) at all stages of the process. The DTG curves allow one to distinguish four stages of the mass loss rate in the form of overlapping Gaussians.

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Some Metal Complexes of N,N-diethyl-n '-benzoylthiourea

Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were performed on the complexes with general formula (M(DEBT)_n (where M =Fe, Co, Ni, Cu or Ru; n =2, or 3 and DEBT=N,N-diethyl-N'-benzoylthiourea). Derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curves were also recorded in order to obtain decomposition data on the complexes. The complexes of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Ru(III) displayed two- or three-stage decomposition patterns when heated in a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere. Mass loss considerations relating to the decomposition stages indicated the conversion of the complexes to the sulfides or to the corresponding metal alone (Cu, Ru, NiS, CoS or FeS). Mathematical analysis of the TG and DTG data showed that the order of reaction varied between 0.395 and 0.973. Kinetic parameters such as the decomposition energy, the entropy of activation and the pre-exponential factor are reported. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
