| description | To grasp the decomposition reaction rule of calcium carbonate in cement raw material, the thermogravimetric analyzer (TG), derivative thermogravimetric (DTG), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) were used for analysis. Calcium carbonate samples were heated linearly at multiple heating rates of 10, 20, 30, and 40 °C/min in the atmospheres of N<sub>2</sub> and 70% N<sub>2</sub> + 30% O<sub>2</sub>, respectively. The decomposition kinetics was investigated using a double extrapolation method. Kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition and the most probable mechanism function were determined in two different atmospheres. The results show that TG, DTG, and DSC curves moved to a higher temperature with the increase in heating rate, and the addition of O<sub>2</sub> in the reaction atmosphere had almost no effect on the change in the decomposition curve. Additionally, the activation energy of the initial state in the formation of the new nucleus obtained using the double extrapolation method was 232.13 kJ/mol in the N<sub>2</sub> atmosphere, and the most probabilistic mechanistic function was <i>G</i>(<i>α</i>) = 1 − (1 − <i>α</i>)<sup>1/2</sup>. The chemical reaction process was consistent with the contracted cylinder mechanism model of phase boundary reaction. Moreover, the activation energy of the initial state in the formation of the new nucleus was 233.79 kJ/mol in the 70% N<sub>2</sub> + 20% O<sub>2</sub> atmosphere, and the chemical reaction process was consistent with that of the N<sub>2</sub> atmosphere. Therefore, these results could determine the decomposition temperature and decomposition rate of calcium carbonate. This was important for understanding the thermal stability and processing temperature range of polymer materials, especially the application and potential in production and scientific research. |
