Thermogravimetric Kinetic Behavior of Malaysian Poultry Processing Dewatered Sludge (PPDS) during Combustion

Abstract:

The combustion characteristic and kinetic analysis of Malaysian poultry processing dewatered sludge (PPDS) from two different origins, namely as PPDS 1 and PPDS 2 using Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were examined. The non-isothermal step was practiced under oxidative atmosphere during the investigation. The temperature was ramped from 30oC to 1000oC at four different heating rates to allow the calculation of kinetic analysis parameter i.e. activation energy. Derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curves for both samples resulted from TGA shows 3 different peaks. Calculation of apparent activation energy was adopted using iso-conventional model free method. The different of activation energy value embedded in each samples was due to the non-similarity of its fuel characteristic and combustion behavior.
