Thermal decomposition of the two light polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) naphthalene and anthracene as tar model compounds was investigated with a lab-scale fluidized bed reactor. Pyrolysis kinetics for the four main gaseous products, namely hydrogen, methane, ethylene and propane, were evaluated. Experimental results indicated that naphthalene with two fused benzene rings was easier to be decomposed than anthracene with three fused benzene rings. , respectively. The most probable reaction mechanisms describing the evolution profiles of individual gas components from the pyrolysis of the two PAHs were three-dimensional diffusion for hydrogen, methane, and propane, as well as chemical reaction for ethylene.

“…TGA and DTA are very useful tools for assessing the thermal characteristics of biomass and its components under a controlled environment and is often associated with kinetic modeling (Magdziarz and Wilk, 2013;Branca and Di Blasi, 2015). Numerous papers have concerned with the kinetics of combustion of lignocellulosic biomass, in terms of rice husk (Saldarriaga et al, 2015), corn straw (Fang et al, 2013), miscanthus (Jayaraman and Gökalp, 2015) and date palm wastes (Sait et al, 2012). Despite the literatures regarding lignocellulosic biomass is abundant, only a limited number of studies are concerned about the combustion of microalgae.…”

h i g h l i g h t sCombustion of low-lipid microalgae C. pyrenoidosa and S. platensis were studied. Chemical functional groups present in two microalgae were investigated via FTIR. Apparent activation energies for combustion of the two microalgae were calculated. C. pyrenoidosa has a higher reactivity compared to S. platensis during combustion. a r t i c l e i n f o t r a c tThermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis were employed to investigate combustion characteristics of two low-lipid microalgae, Chlorella pyrenoidosa (CP) and Spirulina platensis (SP) and isoconversional Starink approach was used to calculate the kinetic parameters in the present study. The results showed that three stages of mass loss, including dehydration, devolatilization and char oxidation, were observed during combustion of both of two low-lipid microalgae. The whole weight loss of combustion of two microalgae was both shifted to higher temperature zones with increased heating rates from 10 to 40 K/min. In the 0.1-0.9 conversion range, the apparent activation energy of CP increased first from 51.96 to 79.53 kJ/mol, then decreased to 55.59 kJ/mol. Finally, it slightly increased to 67.27 kJ/mol. In the case of SP, the apparent activation energy gradually increased from 68.51 to 91.06 kJ/mol.
