ACTIVATION ENERGY OF GRAPHITIZATION PROCESSES.

A brief analysis is given of the defects of the methods used for calculating activation energies of graphitization processes. For the treatment of experimental kinetic curves it is proposed to use an equation of the kinetics in general form without imposing limitations relative to the dependence of the activation energy on the parameters monitored and the temperature. It is concluded that there is a spectrum of activation energies reflecting a variety of processes of the three-dimensional ordering of carbons.
