Experiments on thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate were carried out in a thermogravimetric analyser under non-isothermal conditions of different heating rates (1 0 to 100 "C/min). A new technique for determining the kinetic parameters from non-isothermal thermogravimetric data was described. The activation energy and frequency factors were determined from the proposed method and also by the widely used Coats and Redfern method. The kinetic parameters and the kinetic compensation effect between the activation energy and frequency factors obtained from both the methods were found to be very consistent and are in very good agreement with the literature values. The activation energy and frequency factors were also determined from isothermal experiments in the temperature range from 680 to 875 "C. The activation energy and frequency factors determined from isothermal data using initial rate method were also found to be in very good agreement with the above results. It is also found that the kinetic parameters determined by isothermal analysis were consistent with the values determined by non-isothermal analysis.

Ferroptosis is a novel regulated cell death characterized by metabolic disorders and iron-dependent oxidative destruction of the lipid bilayer. It is primarily caused by the imbalance of oxidation and anti-oxidation in the body and is precisely regulated by numerous factors and pathways inside and outside the cell. Recent studies have indicated that ferroptosis plays a vital role in the pathophysiological process of multiple systems of the body including the nervous system. Ferroptosis may be closely linked to the occurrence and development of neurodegenerative diseases, strokes, and brain tumors. It may also be involved in the development, maturation, and aging of the nervous system. Therefore, this study aims to investigate ferroptosis's occurrence and regulatory mechanism and summarize its research progress in the pathogenesis and treatment of neurological diseases. This would allow for novel ideas for basic and clinical research of neurological diseases.
