Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP): DSC onset 151 C, Ea 171 kJ/mol, TD24 about 95 C (simulated from published kinetics)
SafeScale analysis of DSC thermograms simulated at 2, 5 and 10 K/min from published kinetics (Ea 170.3 kJ/mol, log A 17.3, dH 1180 J/g; Iwata Y., 2013, Thermal decomposition behavior of di-tert-butyl peroxide measured with differential adiabatic calorimeter, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 31, 835-840, DOI 10.3303/CET1331140). Simulated from published kinetics, not a measurement. Illustrates what the engine derives from multi-rate DSC; it is not a safety basis for any process. TD24/TD8 use a zero-order Semenov estimate with Cp 2.0 J/g/K.
How the engine decided
- Kissinger Ea recovered from the simulated curves: 171.1 kJ/mol (input 170.3)
- Kinetics source: https://www.aidic.it/cet/13/31/140.pdf
Confidence: auto-verified: this result did not require human review before publishing.
