Abstract:The combustion characteristics of biochar obtained from barley straw (BS) and brown algae (BA) are explored. Four different heating rates are utilized to determine the respective activation energies. A master plot analysis is used to identify the appropriate reaction model. The results show that the activation energies vary in the ranges of 6.86–48.36 and 46.34–77.51 kJ mol−1 for BS and BA biochar combustion, respectively. As the heating rate increases, most of the combustion characteristic parameters increase… Show more
