Kinetic Model of Stabilized PAN Fiber Mass Loss During Carbonization Harper’s latest white paper on «Kinetic Model of Stabilized PAN Fiber Mass Loss During Carbonization», which was presented at SAMPE 2017, is now available. This paper details a continuous model for the carbonization process, including mass loss rate as a lumped kinetic using two-zone model for the fiber and pseudo-pure off-gas. The kinetic coefficients used in the model have been estimated by reviewing existing literature data and extending it to real operating conditions.
