Kinetics Neo software fully supports  "ICTAC Kinetics Committee recommendations for analysis of multi-step kinetics" .

Kinetics Neo Roadmap

The actual Kinetics Neo version 2.7.3 was released at June 11, 2024 (see more details in Release History).

Future Releases

Q4 2024

1. Influence of the partial pressure of the reactive gaseous component on chemical kinetics:

• reduction of metals from metal oxides in the presence of hydrogen
• reduction of metals from metal oxides in the presence of hydrogen.

2. Kinetic model for two parameters: temperature and pressure of non-reactive atmosphere.

3. New reaction type: reversible reactions.

What Makes Kinetics Neo So Valuable:

• Completely rewritten from scratch, this innovative software is based on the latest technologies.
• The improved user interface is fast and easy to use.
• All model-free and model-based methods are included. The results from all of these methods can be statistically compared wit  h one another.
• The powerful new numerical model-free method ensures fast determination of the best model-free solution.
• Predictions and optimizations can be achieved by means of both model-free and model-based methods.
• A visual kinetic model can be created quickly and easily using the model-based method.
• The kinetic model can contain any number of individual reaction steps in any combination. Reaction steps can be easily added, removed or changed by the user.
• The position of individual reaction steps can be visually adjusted at any time.
• An individual step or the entire kinetic model can be optimized with just a click of the mouse.
• The software provides the formal concentration of each reactant and reaction rate for each reaction step as a function of time or temperature.
• Isothermal crystallization reactions can be analyzed and predicted.

Kinetics Neo Features

Kinetics Neo follows the latest ICTAC recommendations published in the article "ICTAC Kinetics Committee recommendations for analysis of multi-step kinetics".

Model-Free Methods allow the activation energy of the reaction process to be found without the assumption of any kinetic model (ASTM E698, ASTM E2890, ASTM E1641, Friedman, Ozawa-Flynn-Wall, KAS, Numeric Optimization).

Model-Based Methodsapply powerful cutting-edge mathematical calculations to create the best kinetic model; the different kinetic models can then also be compared statistically.

Predictions— Kinetics Neo is used for simulations and predictions once the experimental data has been described by either model-free or model-based kinetics. Predictions can be calculated for various temperature programs: isothermal, dynamic, multiple step, step-iso, modulated, or adiabatic.

Optimization is based on predictions; the temperature program can be optimized to achieve maximum product quality in the minimum amount of time.
