Abstract

Decomposition of the Y2BaCuO5 in C02 was studied using simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The time derivative to the thermo-gravimetric analysis data (DTG) was used to calculate the activation energy. The activation energy of decomposition by CO2 into barium carbonate, copper oxide and yttrium oxide was found to be <
