The study evaluated the feasibility of using Maple Leaf Waste (MLW) to produce biofuel-bioenergy and chemicals for the first time. By analyzing different degradation stages and temperatures, it was determined that the pyrolysis temperature range for maximum bioenergy production is from 200 degrees C to 430 degrees C. The findings show that MLW has significant potential for bioenergy production and is suitable for co-pyrolysis with other waste and biomass feedstock.
The present study aims to evaluate the feasibility of Maple Leaf Waste (MLW) for the first time to produce biofuel-bioenergy and chemicals. It is meaningful to understand the thermochemical conversion and degradation pattern of the MLW to evaluate its biofuel-bioenergy potential. Different degradation stages and zones based on temperature and mass loss were identified to understand the pyrolytic behaviour in depth. Four different heating rates were used to conduct kinetic and thermodynamic analysis. The pyrolysis temperature was concluded ranged from 200 degrees C to 430 degrees C at all heating rates to obtain maximum bioenergy products. The kinetic parameters of pyrolysis were obtained by analysing through iso-conversional models of Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO). The average values of activation energies (75-91 kJ mol(-1)), high heating values (16.32 MJ kg(-1)), Gibb's free energies (261-269 kJ mol(-1)) and change in enthalpy (68-85 kJ mol(-1)) have shown the significant potential for bioenergy production and suitability of co-pyrolysis with other waste and biomass feedstock.
