Insight into the Pyrolysis of Biomass: Pyrolysis Behavior, Kinetics, and Thermodynamic Parameters Analysis Based on Iso-conversional Methods.

biomass's thermal degradation was investigated in a nonisothermal thermogravimetric analyzer at four heating rates. Iso-conversional methods (differential Friedman, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, Ozawa-Flynn-Wall, Starink, and distributed activation energy) were used to analyze the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. The pre-exponential factor and activation energy for all iso-conversional processes varied from 10 to 10 min and 168.
