TG curves present mass loss in only one step before and after the melting point (T-m=76 degreesC (A) and 180 degreesC (B)) in different proportions as a function of the heating rate, characterising the sublimation and the volatilisation processes, respectively. The thermal stability of the compounds follow the order: A (77 degreesC)<B (121 degreesC)<C (222 degreesC). Kinetic parameters through TG curves, dynamic process, using heating rates of 1, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 degreesC min(-1), enabled to obtain the following increasing order to the activation energy values of the compounds: 80.4 (A), 102.0 (B) and 153.9 kJ mol(-1) (C). Other kinetic parameters as pre-exponential and half-lifetime were also estimated.783-787eng8-hydroxyquinolinekinetic parameterssublimationthermogravimetryvolatilisationArtigo10.1023/A:1011560815381WOS:000168679600043Acesso restrito747131011399914084983108918100820000-0002-7984-5908
