Pyrolysis kinetics of olive residue/plastic mixtures by non-isothermal thermogravimetry

Pyrolysis of solid fuels: Thermochemical behaviour, kinetics and compensation effect

“…The devolatilization of lignin occurred in a much wider temperature range of 410-850 K, with the lowest reactivity (about 2.0 × 10 -3 K -1 ). Maximum reactivity and temperature ranges of thermal decomposition of three main pseudocomponents were similar to results presented by other researchers [38,40,41].…”

“…Observed thermal characteristics were similar to these presented in the literature. Investigation performed for wood (beech wood [35], sawdust of pine [36]), corn straw [37] and olive residue [38] indicated that majority of the volatiles, evolved from lignocellulosic biomass in temperatures below 700 K, with the maximum reactivity in range 600-650 K.…”

Study on pyrolysis characteristics of refuse plastic fuel using lab-scale tube furnace and thermogravimetric analysis reactor

“…Kinetic models of plastic, polymer, and waste have been investigated in various pyrolysis conditions by many researchers using the TGA method [7,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Empirical kinetics as a single reaction model [7,[12][13][14][15][16][17] or a parallel reaction model [18][19][20] has recently been used in TGA experiments of pyrolysis. Cozzani et al [7] reported the characterization of RDF pyrolysis kinetics using the single reaction model and TG measurement which was performed under various heating rates (10 • C/min, 20 • C/min, 30 • C/min, and 40 • C/min) of a non-isothermal condition.…”

Study of the pyrolysis of biomass using thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and concentration measurements of the evolved species

“…Empirical kinetics grouped as a single model [1][2][3][4], parallel model [5][6][7][8][9], or parallel-series model [10][11][12] have also recently been used in various studies of pyrolysis. Otero et al evaluated the Arrhenius activation energies of various blends of coal and sludge by applying a non-isothermal, iso-conversional model to TGA results [3].…”

“…Otero et al evaluated the Arrhenius activation energies of various blends of coal and sludge by applying a non-isothermal, iso-conversional model to TGA results [3]. Aboulkas et al carried out TGA studies of the pyrolytic decomposition of mixtures of olive residue and plastic at temperatures ranging from 300 to 1273 K in a nitrogen atmosphere at four heating rates of 2, 10, 20, and 50 K min −1 [4]. Pantoleontos et al presented a kinetic model of the pyrolyses of coal, biomass, and waste fuels using a power-law model in terms of parallel reactions [7].…”
