Abstract:In the present study, the pyrolysis behaviour of Capsicum Annuum stem Waste (CAW) was studied applying thermogravimetric analysis to evaluate the intrinsic kinetic parameters to develop a pyrolysis reactor for utilizing CAW. The thermal decomposition of CAW was achieved between 373 -1173 K under inert conditions at different heating rates of 10, 20, and 30 K min -1 . Model-free kinetic methods like Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), Ozawa Flynn Wall (OFW) and Coats Redfern methods were applied to work out the kin… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
