“…The most frequently used form of h ( p (CO 2 ), P eq ( T )) is expressed by eq ,,,, where P ° in kPa is the standard pressure introduced to normalize the pressure unit of ( p (CO 2 )/ P °) to be in atm. Equation was obtained on the basis of various theoretical considerations. ,,,, The practical application of eq accompanied by eq corrects the slope of the Arrhenius-type plots at each p (CO 2 ) value; however, the kinetics is not necessarily described successfully by a single Arrhenius-type plot over different p (CO 2 ) values. ,− Accordingly, theoretical and experimental resolutions of the universal kinetic description of the thermal decomposition of metal carbonates over different temperature and p (CO 2 ) conditions are the current challenge for gaining further insight into the kinetics of the thermal decomposition of solids. − …”
