Pyrolysis of textile wastes

TG-FTIR analysis of switchgrass pyrolysis

“…In general, there was a slight increase in mass loss rate with increase in heating rate within the temperature range of 150-350 8C. Similar trends in mass loss rates with heating rates were reported by Miranda et al [8] for textile wastes and Hu et al [18] for cellulose. Possible cause of this response of biomass during pyrolysis to different heating rates has been attributed to increased thermal lag at higher heating rates [4,15].…”

“…This is because of the relative ease and straightforward manner for obtaining mass loss data [6,7] that is needed for determination of pyrolysis kinetics. Knowledge of pyrolysis kinetics during thermal decomposition of biomass materials is needed for design, operation and control of thermochemical conversion units such as gasifiers and pyrolysis reactors [8].…”

Thermal decomposition study on Jatropha curcas L. waste using TGA and fixed bed reactor

“…Comparison on the calculated kinetic data from physic nut waste to those obtained from other biomass with relatively similar experiments is summarized in Table 3 as reported by Caballero et al [16], Manyà et al [20], Hu et al [21], and Miranda et al [22]. There is obviously large diversity among these kinetic values due to difference in lignocellulosic species of each biomass.…”

Flame Retardant, Heat Insulating Cellulose Aerogels from Waste Cotton Fabrics by in Situ Formation of Magnesium Hydroxide Nanoparticles in Cellulose Gel Nanostructures

“…1 Used clothes and leftover materials of the textile industry are usually landfilled or incinerated. 2 These disposing methods caused two major problems: waste of valuable cotton resources and environmental pollution. Hence, it is an attractive and viable attempt to recycle WCFs or other biomass wastes 3−5 into value-added products for both environmental and economic benefits.…”
