Kinetics Neo
Kinetics Neo is specialized software designed for the kinetic analysis of thermoanalytical data, enabling process optimization in chemical reactions, polymer crystallization, ceramics sintering, and other temperature-dependent processes. Developed by NETZSCH, the software is widely used in research and industrial settings for modeling and predicting process behavior under specific temperature conditions. The software aligns with the "ICTAC Kinetics Committee recommendations for analysis of multi-step kinetics" (link to article).
The official website for Kinetics Neo can be accessed here.
Overview
Kinetics Neo allows users to determine intrinsic kinetic parameters such as activation energy and reaction order, which are independent of the temperature but crucial for understanding the chemical process. By accurately modeling experimental data across varying conditions, the software facilitates simulations and optimizations of temperature programs tailored to industrial applications.
Its diverse applications include:
- Determining curing times for paints and dental fillings.
- Optimizing ceramics production for enhanced quality and cost-efficiency.
- Enhancing synthesis processes for materials using catalysts.
- Predicting the behavior of pharmaceuticals during production and use.
Features
Kinetics Neo employs both model-free and model-based methods for kinetic analysis:
- Model-Free Methods: These enable activation energy determination without assuming a kinetic model, utilizing standards such as ASTM E698, ASTM E2890, ASTM E1641, Friedman, Ozawa-Flynn-Wall, KAS, and numeric optimization.
- Model-Based Methods: Advanced mathematical techniques create detailed kinetic models, allowing comprehensive comparisons and precise predictions.
Key Functionalities:
- Visual Kinetic Modeling: Users can construct kinetic models involving multiple reaction steps through a user-friendly interface.
- One-Click Optimization: Simplifies the optimization of kinetic parameters across individual steps or entire models.
- Comprehensive Analysis: Provides detailed insights into reaction rates and formal concentrations over time or temperature.
- Prediction and Optimization: Simulates processes for various temperature programs, such as isothermal, dynamic, or modulated.
- Crystallization Analysis: Supports predictions under isothermal, cooling, or heating conditions.
The software supports advanced features such as gas and pressure influence, reversible reactions, and UV light as additional parameters.
Supported Measurement Types
Kinetics Neo integrates data from a wide range of measurement techniques, making it compatible with both NETZSCH and non-NETZSCH instruments. Supported data types include:
- Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA).
- Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA).
- Dilatometry and Dielectric Analysis (DEA).
- Rheometry, Viscosity, and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA).
- Advanced calorimetry techniques like Accelerating Rate Calorimetry (ARC).
