THERMAL STABILITY STUDIES ON SOME METAL SOAPS OF HURA CREPITANS SEED OIL
Thermal stability studies on some metal soaps of Hura crepitans seed oil prepared by metathesis
in aqueous alcohol solution were carried out. The kinetics of the decomposition was studied
thermogravimetrically in the temperature range 160 – 200o C. The values of the rate constant are
of the order 10-2min-1 and temperature-dependent. The enthalpy of activation (ΔH‡) of the initial
stage...
