Non-isothermal pyrolysis characteristics of giant sensitive plants using thermogravimetric analysis

Thermogravimetry study of pyrolytic characteristics and kinetics of the giant wetland plant Phragmites australis

“…It showed a higher amount of ash and cellulose contents compared with other terrestrial materials (Olive residues that study by A. Aboulkas, and pistachio shell that study by Korkut Açıkalın) that came from other literatures [36,37]. The volatile matter and lignin contents of P. australis were lower, while the sulfur content of the samples was approximately equal [11][12][13].…”

“…The kinetic data from TG are not only very useful for understanding the thermal degradation processes and mechanisms, but also can be used as input parameters for a thermal degradation reaction system. Extensive literature has been published on the experiments and mechanism aspects of a great range of biomass, such as waste woods, agricultural residues, and municipal solid wastes [8][9][10][11][12][13]. However, although Sutcu (2008) has investigated the pyrolysis of P. australis and characterization of liquid and solid products [14], there is currently no information available on the pyrolysis kinetics of P. australis until now.…”

Pressurised pyrolysis of Miscanthus using a fixed bed reactor

“…Some studies have looked investigated the ways that different process conditions influence the products of biomass pyrolysis and also the various methods used to identify the products formed (Briens et al, 2008, Cao et al, 2010, Stolarek and Ledakowicz, 2005Wongsiriamnuay and Tippayawong, 2010). Heo et al (2010) considered Miscanthus as a feedstock taking account of varying parameters such as temperature, particle size, feed rate and gas flow rate.…”

Thermal Behavior and Pyrolytic Characteristics of FreshwaterScenedesmussp. Biomass

“…Second, this may be due to the effect of heating rate on secondary reactions of the primary pyrolysis products, such as tar and high-molecular-weight compounds (Jüntgen, 1984). When the heating rate was increased, the retention time was shorter and the temperature required for organic matter to decompose was greater (Ferdous et al, 2002;Senneca, 2007;Jeguirim and Trouve, 2009;Wongsiriamnuay and Tippayawong, 2010), causing the maximum curve rate to move to the right. Increasing the heating rate also led to an increase in the maximum rate of dα/dt of the TG curve (Ferdous et al, 2002;Hu et al, 2007).…”
