TPO provides several valuable pieces of information:
1. Oxidation Temperatures: The temperatures at which different oxidation events occur can be identified, providing insights into the nature of the materials being oxidized. 2. Quantification of Oxidation Products: The amounts of CO₂, H₂O, and other oxidation products can be quantified, offering a measure of the extent of oxidation. 3. Reaction Kinetics: Data obtained from TPO can be used to derive kinetic parameters of the oxidation reactions, such as activation energy and reaction order.
