Investigations were performed in the temperature range from 40 ¡ãC to 1000 ¡ãC at different heating rates (5¨C25 ¡ãC min¨C1). The influence of Pt-based catalyst on the combustion kinetics was examined as well. Values of the kinetic parameters, such as activation energy, Ea and Arrhenius pre-exponential factor, A were determined using isoconversional method proposed by Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose. The obtained values were in good agreement with the literature data %K Combustion %K carbon material %K kinetics %K isoconversional method %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=107159
