Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The kinetic parameters of the thermal degradation of coal in a temperature range of 32–458°C without additives and in the presence of nanosized iron powder as a catalyst were calculated based on thermogravimetric analysis data. The rate constants and activation energies of the first and second steps of thermal degradation processes were determined. The influence of the catalytic additive on the value of activation energy was found. The results of the thermogravimetric analysis can be used in a study of thermocatalytic modification processes for the hydrogenation of fossil coals.
