Hi guys,
I am trying to do the pyrolysis at low temperature in an oxygen-free environment. So I use a small container and want to get 250°C on its inside. So I put it in the oven at 250°C and measured the temperature after each half an hour.
After one hour the temperature reached 140°C and did not go any higher (I measured the same thing after 1h30 and 2h).
The container is made of steel with 2mm of thickness, is inert with Nitrogen, and is closed. So I wonder why I have this temperature gradient between inside the container and the oven and why the temperature is not going any higher than 140°C.
Any comment is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Amrick
