The calculation of the activation energy is based on multiple scan methods where several measurements at different heating rates are needed, i.e. the iso-conversion methods the Ozawa-Flynn-Wall method, the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose method and the expanded Friedman method. The first two are described in Section 3.3.1. The expanded Friedman method is expressed in the form... 

A method suggested by Gao and Wang (Gao Wang, 1986) is a special case of the Friedman method. This method uses the following expaession to determine the activation energy. 

The kinetics of thermal degradation have generally been studied using isothermal and nonisothermal methods. In earlier literature, isothermal methods were mostly employed for the study of the kinetics of solid-state reactions. During the past three decades, however, nonisothermal methods, for example, the Doyle method [17, 18], Freeman and Carroll method [19], Coats and Redfem method [24], Ozawa method [20], Flynn and Wall method [21, 22], Friedman method [25], and Kissinger method [26], have received more attention. 

TGA provides general information about the overall reaction kinetics and is commonly used to estimate kinetic parameters. A model-free kinetic approach based on the isoconversional Friedmans method was used to analyze data obtained by TGA. The method gives simultaneously the activation energy and pre-exponential factor by assuming a reaction order without knowing the rate dependence on conversion.
