Methods of kinetic analysis that involve fitting of experimental data to assumed forms of the reaction model (first-order, second order, etc.) normally result in highly uncertain Arrhenius parameters. This is because errors in the form of the assumed reaction model can be masked by compensating errors in the values of E and A. The isoconversional technique eliminates the shortcomings associated with model-fitting methods. It assumes the unknown integrated form of the reaction model, g(a), as shown in Eq. (4), to be the same for all experiments. 

Li and Tang (Li Tang, 1999) have developed an isoconversional integral method which does not make any assumption about the kinetic model and involves no approximation in the Eq. (3) as...
