Assessment of the thermal decomposition kinetics of empty fruit bunch, kernel shell and their blend.

In this work, were studied the thermal and kinetic characteristics of the palm kernel shell (PKS) and empty fruit bunch (EFB) from the African oil palm. Experiments in the inert atmosphere were carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer. In the kinetic analysis were applied the one-step reaction through iso-conversion methods, mechanism of independent parallel reactions (MIPR), and mechanism of consecutive reactions (MCR).

Drying and thermal decomposition kinetics of sugarcane straw by nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis.

This work aims the study of the drying (25 ± 3 °C-150 °C) and thermal decomposition (150-900 °C) of sugarcane straw kinetics in inert and oxidative atmospheres by nonisothermal thermogravimetry (TG) analysis using heating rates of 2.5, 5 and 10 °C/min. The drying kinetic analysis was carried out using five models, Lewis, Page, Henderson and Pabis, Midilli and Logaritmic, obtaining the activation energy of 1.

Combustion reaction kinetics of guarana seed residue applying isoconversional methods and consecutive reaction scheme.

This work aims the study of decomposition kinetics of guarana seed residue using thermogravimetric analyzer under synthetic air atmosphere applying heating rates of 5, 10, and 15°C/min, from room temperature to 900°C. Three thermal decomposition stages were identified: dehydration (25.1-160°C), oxidative pyrolysis (240-370°C), and combustion (350-650°C).

Thermal decomposition of sugarcane straw, kinetics and heat of reaction in synthetic air.

The aim of this work was to analyze the thermal decomposition, kinetics and heat of reaction of sugarcane straw in synthetic air by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The TG and DSC experiments were carried out using heating rates of 2.5°C/min, 5°C/min, and 10°C/min, and particle diameter of 0.
