Pyrolysis Kinetics Equation of Larch Bark

Abstract:

The larch bark was examined by non-isothermal means to determine the mass loss kinetics of the thermal decomposition with linear temperature programming in nitrogen atmosphere. In this work, mechanism equation of = was used for Coats-Redfern integral method at the different heating rates. The apparent activation energy, pre-exponential factor and the pyrolysis kinetic equations at the different heating rates were obtained. The pyrolysis temperature area was divided into two separate temperature regions for the pyrolysis kinetic equation and the two components were decomposed respectively at the two separate temperature regions. The global mass loss rate of the bark is considered as controlled respectively by the reactions of the two components respectively during the lower and higher temperature ranges. The kinetics of the two components are found to abide by the mechanism equation of =, which gave the best fits to the experimental data. The obtained kinetic equations of the bark at the different heating rates were additionally validated by the reasonable agreement between the experimental and calculated results.
