Investigating the kinetics of the thermolysis of 3-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) and reduced size NTO in the presence of cobalt ferrite additive

The co-precipitation technique was used to successfully produce nanometer cobalt ferrite (CoF). Utilizing the solvent-antisolvent approach, reduction in size of sensitive HEM 3-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) effectively achieved. Using simultaneous thermal analysis, effect 5% by mass CoF on thermolysis NTO and nanosize (r-NTO) investigated. kinetic parameter r-NTO presence additive assessed using three isoconversional methods: Flynn–Ozawa–Wall, Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose Starink. It found that lowering NTO’s adding may both lower material’s breakdown temperature, with former dropping it more significantly than latter. activation energy raised additive.
