Abstract
The dehydration kinetics of phase change material KAl(SO4)2•12H2O was studied under non-isothermal conditions and the Kissinger’s method was applied to analyze the TG and DSC data in order to calculation of activation energies and pre-exponential factors for different heating rates. It was concluded that dehydration of KAl(SO4)2•12H2O occurred in three steps. The activation energies and pre-exponential factors were calculated as 95.9 kJ/mol and 1.95×1010min-1 for step I, 128.8kJ/mol and 3.67×1012 min-1 for step II, 159.6kJ/mol and1.92×1013min-1 for step III, respectively. In addition, various materials have been tested to prevent the KAl(SO4)2•12H2O supercooling.
