Thermal Characterization Study of Eucalyptus Sourced from South China with Thermo-Kinetic Analysis Method

Abstract:

In this study, thermogravimetric analysis and kinetic analysis techniques were used to investigating the pyrolysis characteristic of the eucalyptus feedstock sourced from South China. The thermogravimetric analysis results indicate that the pyrolysis of eucalyptus sample occurred in three main stages which are the moisture vaporization stage, the volatile matter release stage and the char decomposition stage. The kinetic analysis results show that C-R kinetic method fits to the pyrolysis characterizations of eucalyptus. In addition, the effects of different constant heating rates on the pyrolysis behavior and kinetic parameters have been also studied in this paper.
