The thermal decomposition of the cobalt dichloride hexahydrate and its kinetics were studied by TG and DTG technique under the non-isothermal condition with nitrogen atnosphere.The non-isothermal kinetic data and kinetic parameters were evaluated by means of integral and differential methods.The most probable mechanism functions of the thermal decomposition reaction for the first stage are:f(α)=(1-α)2 and g(α)=(1-α)-1-1.
