“…E a obtained from VYZ results started from ~ 118 kJ/mol (α = 0.10) and continued to increase until α = 0.90 as shown in Table 2 which lies in the hemicellulose and cellulose decomposition range. In this study, average E a value (≈168 kJ/mol)) obtained for FNB by iso-conversional methods is lower than cardoon leaves (350 kJ/mol), cardoon stems (224 kJ/mol), mill bagasse (460 kJ/mol), cashew nutshell (293 kJ/mol), palm stem (542 kJ/mol), sisal bole (239 kJ/mol), coffee husk (370 kJ/ mol), rice husk (177 kJ/mol), camphor branch (190 kJ/mol), cherry bay branch (184 kJ/mol) and para grass (178 kJ/mol), On the other hand, the average E a for FNB is comparable with camel grass (169 kJ/mol), cotton straw (171 kJ/mol), rice straw (158 kJ/mol) and invasive Reed Canary (162 kJ/ mol) [21,[39][40][41][42]. This correspondence of E a values of FNB makes it suitable for co-firing or co-pyrolysis with several other biomass feedstocks [20].…”

The over reliance on fossil fuels for power generation has resulted in an alarming depletion of petrochemical crude oil reserves, that also is the cause of elevated greenhouse gas effects. Biomass resources are considered potential fuels for the future on account of their renewable and carbon-neutral features. This study presents the physicochemical characteristics and pyrolysis behavior of a novel biomass Ficus natalensis barkcloth (FNB). Physicochemical characterization indicated that the FNB has 74.4% volatile matter contents, a higher heating value (HHV) of 13.8 MJ/kg, and it has 67% cellulose as its main chemical constituent. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that major decomposition occurred at the core devolatization (235℃ to 410 ℃) under inert thermal degradation. Model-free and model-fitting kinetic methods were applied to TGA data to compute the kinetics triplet for FNB biomass. The average activation energy (E a ) of the FNB pyrolysis process was determined to be 168 kJ/mol. The compensation effects between pre-exponential factor (A) and E a detected a rise in collision intensity for the pyrolysis of FNB at high heating rates. The Criado master plot results showed that the pyrolysis of FNB followed first-order reaction (F 1 ) mechanism. The thermodynamic parameters, such as change in enthalpy (ΔH), Gibbs free energy (ΔG), and entropy (ΔS), were also calculated and compared with kinetics parameters to evaluate the evolution of thermal degradation. Physiochemical and thermo-kinetic analysis of FBN revealed its comparable bioenergy potential with established biomasses.
