Abstract The kinetic behavior of the thermal decomposition of synthetic malachite was investigated by means of CRTA under different conditions of reduced pressure, flowing gases and quasi-isobaric atmospheres. The thermal decomposition was found to proceed at lower temperatures under the influence of the self-generated gases, CO2 and H2O. From a viewpoint of chemical equilibrium, the normal and opposite effects on the overall kinetics were observed for the self-generated CO2 and H2O, respectively. The complexity of the present reaction is also reflected by the variations of the apparent kinetic parameters which depend on the applied and self-generated atmospheric conditions. The practical usefulness of CRTA when applied to a complicated thermal decomposition is discussed as exemplified by the kinetic approaches to the present reaction.
