Dangerous reactions information parameters

Boldyreva [26] has criticized the use of the NIK approach for the determination of kinetic parameters and reaction mechanisms in the absence of more direct studies, and states that in certain technological situations, e.g. processes carried out under non-isothermal conditions, the rapidity with which the information is obtained and the similarities between laboratory and process conditions "may compensate for the absence of a physical meaning". Maciejewski [27] has also provided critical discussions of the usefulness of kinetic data for solid state reactions and has warned of the dangers of regarding measured kinetic parameters as being characteristic of the compound being studied, without reference to the experimental conditions used.
