Pyrolytic Characteristics and Kinetic Parameters Evaluation of Cassava Stalks Using Thermogravimetric Analyzer
Abstract:
Pyrolytic characteristics and kinetics of cassava stalks as a renewable energy source were delved via a thermogravimetric (TG) analyzer. About 10 mg powder of the sample was heated up in the TG cavity under inert conditions with 50 ml.min-1 nitrogen flow rate and operated at 20 °C min-1 of heating program. The pyrolysis process of cassava stalks was taken place into three main stages, in which the peak reaction occurred at the second stage with 70% of the mass was degraded. The differential method of Arrhenius kinetic evaluation resulted in the values of reaction order (n) that was 0.99, activation energy that was 89.46 kJ/mol and logarithmic frequency factor (log A) was 7.7 min-1.
