Effect of different heating rate on the thermal decomposition of urea in an open reaction vessel

Fouzia Rafat

Abstract

A study was done of the thermal decomposition of urea at different heating rate by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The temperature and enthalpy of fusion of urea were calculated based on TG experiments carried out using different heating rates varying from 5 to 150C/min. Thus it was made possible to compare the contributions to the total thermal effect of urea fusion and thermal decomposition process.
