What Is Kinetics Neo Software
Kinetics Neo is a software for the analysis of process rates that depend on temperature, such as chemical reactions, polymers crystallization, or ceramic sintering.
Kinetics Neo software enables the finding of kinetic models with parameters (like activation energy or reaction order), that are dependent on the chemical nature of the process, but independent of the current temperature. The model, characterized by these parameters, must accurately describe experimental data across various temperature conditions.
The model with these parameters can then be used within the Kinetics Neo software to simulate process behavior under user-defined temperature conditions and to optimize temperature settings for industrial processes.
Please have a look at the video about the basics of the Kinetics Neo and it's advanced functions and features recorded during the webinar at April 29, 2021. Important parts are:
- 02:25 Goal of kinetic analysis for chemical reactions and necessary measurements (slides 3-9, 8 minutes);
- 10:38 Analysis approaches, advantages and disadvantages (slides 10-24, 17 minutes);
- 27:54 Unique features of Kinetics Neo (slides 27-48, 23 minutes).

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.
