The apparent kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition of theβ-cyclodextrin-water complex were estimated from thermogravimetric data. Various calculation methods were used and the results compared. All methods except the Kissinger method gave a reaction order near to zero and an activation energy in the range 60 to 65 kJ/mol. Some trials were made to extrapolate the activation energy values to semi-isothermal conditions (65.7 kJ/mol). The loss in weight indicated the presence of 11 water molecules in the complex. This was liberated in single stage, despite its occurrence as two distinct types, as shown by crystallographic studies.
