“…Such activation energy is thought to be not a constant value but obeys a kind of distributed probability density function (PDF) such as Gaussian distribution [11][12][13]. Many attractive methods can be used to treat the DAEM calculation, such as fitting method [14,15], iso-conversional method [16] and discretization method [17][18][19][20]. Among these methods, the discrete DAEM which discretize the infinity first-order reaction as many (but finite) parallel first-order reactions is even better for the DAEM calculation [18][19][20].…”

Simulations of coal combustors and gasifiers generally cannot incorporate the complexities of advanced pyrolysis models, and hence there is interest in evaluating simpler models over ranges of temperature and heating rate that are applicable to the furnace of interest. In this paper, six different simple model forms are compared to predictions made by the Chemical Percolation Devolatilization (CPD) model. The model forms included three modified one-step models, a simple two-step model, and two new modified two-step models. These simple model forms were compared over a wide range of heating rates (5  10 3 K/s to 10 6 K/s) at final temperatures up to 1600 K. Comparisons were made of total volatiles yield as a function of temperature, as well as the ultimate volatiles yield.Advantages and disadvantages for each simple model form are discussed. A modified two-step model with distributed activation energies seems to give the best agreement with CPD model predictions (with the fewest tunable parameters).

“…The DAEM assumes that the decomposition mechanism requires many reactions, which have different activation energies that show the changes in the bond strengths of the species and are irreversible, independent, parallel, and first order. DAEM is especially compatible with the experimental data, which was obtained under low heating temperature conditions in the range of 5–40°C/min. For this reason, heating rates of 5, 10, and 20°C/min were used in this study.…”

In this study, the phase transformation behavior from β-glycine (Gly) to α-Gly was examined in the presence of three different carboxylic acid additives (acetic, tartaric, and citric acid) at three different concentrations. Initially, the structure, morphology, shape parameters, surface functional groups, and elemental properties of the crystals prepared from the additive-containing and nonadditive media were investigated. The characterization results showed that when compared with the pure medium, both the duration of the phase transformation and physicochemical properties of the α-Gly crystals were altered in the presence of the three carboxylic acid additives studied. Subsequently, the experimental data obtained from the thermogravimetric analysis of the α-Gly samples obtained from the additive containing and nonadditive media were modeled using a simplified DAEM kinetic model. On the basis of the data obtained from the distributed activation energy model, the average activation energy for the Gly crystals obtained from the pure medium was calculated to be 90.8 kJ/mol. The value for the crystals obtained from the acetic acidcontaining medium was 104.0 higher than that found for the crystals from the pure medium and other two other additives studied. Besides kinetic analysis, thermogravimetric analysis/Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis confirmed that the carboxylic acid was adsorbed on the crystal's surface. The amount of acetic, tartaric, and citric acid adsorbed was 2.97, 2.38, and 1.72 mg/g, respectively.
