“…All the experiments were carried out under nitrogen atmosphere and E values were calculated by DAEM or KAS method. The activation energy of Jerusalem artichoke showed lower average E value than other terrestrial plants, some reports suggested that it may because the chemical composition of individual specie plays a fundamental role in the kinetics determination [2,24]. However, relation between chemical composition and activation energy was not conclusive.…”

Jerusalem artichoke has great potential as future feedstock for bioenergy production because of its high tuber yield (up to 90 t ha -1 ), appropriate biomass characteristics, low input demand, and positive environmental impact. The pyrolytic and kinetic characteristics of Jerusalem artichoke tubers were analyzed at heating rates of 5, 10, 20 and 30°C min -1 . TG and DTG curves in an inert (nitrogen) atmosphere suggested that there were three distinct stages of mass loss and the major loss occurs between about 190-380°C. Heating rate brought a lateral shift toward right in the temperature. And, it not only affects the temperature at which the highest mass loss rate reached, but also affect the maximum rate of mass loss. The distributed activation energy model (DAEM) was used to study the pyrolysis kinetics and provided reasonable fits to the experimental data. The activation energy (E) of tubers ranged from 146.40 to 232.45 kJ mol -1 , and the frequency factor (A) changed greatly corresponding to E values at different mass conversion.

“…A variety of animal manures (such as pig, chicken, horse, and cow), as well as agricultural residues, have been shown to yield useful gaseous and solid products when pyrolyzed ( Hussein et al, 2017 , Kim and Agblevor, 2007 , Kim and Agblevor, 2014 , Ngo et al, 2010 , Tsai et al, 2015 ). System-level study of using animal manure and pit latrine sludge as a source of energy demonstrated the potential of thermochemical processes in alleviating waste while providing renewable energy ( Bond et al, 2018 , Cantrell et al, 2012 ).…”

Highlights Quantitative TGA-MS used to study pyrolysis of fresh feces. An HHV of 7.2–22.8 MJ/Nm 3 was estimated for the pyrolysis exhaust. A model free isoconversional and DAEM methods were used for kinetic analysis. Half of the biomass conversion occurred at 241.5 ± 2.9 kJ/mol activation energy.

“…Biomass pyrolysis is commonly regarded as technically and economically feasible. The investigation of biomass pyrolysis kinetics can obtain the pyrolysis parameters, which is significant for evaluating the reaction mechanism and the influence factors (Antal and Friedman, 1980;Arpa et al, 2010;Babu and Chaurasia, 2004;Hujuri et al, 2008;Johannes et al, 2004;Ngo et al, 2010;Órfã and Figueiredo, 2001;Parikh et al, 2007;Stolarek and Ledakowicz, 2005;Wang et al, 2006;Zhou et al, 2010).…”
