Co-pyrolysis characteristics of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and coal through TGA

Pyrolysis of oil-plant wastes in a TGA and a fixed-bed reactor: Thermochemical behaviors, kinetics, and products characterization

“…In general, the pyrolysis process of biomass materials can be characterized by a three-stage thermal degradation reaction: drying (moisture evaporation), main devolatilization (active pyrolysis zone), and continuous solid residues decomposition (passive pyrolysis zone) (Idris et al, 2010). There was a slight weight loss peak in the DTG curves of RS and CS at temperatures below 150°C, which could be attributed to the dehydration and release of light volatile compounds in the samples, as pointed out by Shuping et al (2010) and Chen et al (2012). However, unlike RS and CS, only the pyrolysis temperature increased to more than 200°C, the evident weight loss started to appear in the thermal degradation of RM and CM, and then got into the main devolatilization stage.…”

Characteristics and kinetic studies of Hydrilla verticillata pyrolysis via thermogravimetric analysis

“…For these reasons, research in the field had been very active with numerous reports in the recent literature (White et al, 2011). Among various methods, the iso-conversional (also called model-free) method and distributed activation model (DAEM) which is suitable for non-isothermal TGA have been widely applied in thermal decomposition kinetics studies of different types of biomass (Damartzis et al, 2011;Chen et al, 2012;Hu et al, 2015;Sharara et al, 2014).…”

OUTDOOR CULTIVATION OF Scenedesmus obliquus BR003 IN STIRRED TANKS BY AIRLIFT

“…and found an ash content equivalent to 5.93%. In a thermogravimetric investigation of the same species, Chen et al (2012) found an ash content of 10.3%. Biller et al (2012) analyzed the chemical characteristics of Scenedesmus sp.…”
