Abstract: Thermal decomposition process of magnesite was investigated by means of TG-DSC.Results showed that magnesite decomposition was in one phase reaction.The apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor (lg A)were calculated by Kissinger and Ozawa-Doyle equations,and the values of them were 177.14 kJ/mol and 7.39 s-1,respectively.According to Coats-Redfern equation,multiple linear regressions were carried out with common mechanism functions of solid thermal decomposition.Furthermore,it was obtained from Malek method that the process of magnesite thermal decomposition belonged to three-dimensional diffusion mechanism (D3).And then,the differential equation was deduced as well.The specific heat capacity of MgCO3 was measured by means of DSC.And the expression of specific heat capacity was obtained by least square curve fitting method. 
