Pyrolysis characteristics and kinetic analysis of Indian almond fruit biomass by thermogravimetric analysis for the potential source of bioenergy

P. Suresh Kumar et al.

Summary: Pyrolysis has been recognized as a sustainable method for assessing the bioenergy potential of agricultural waste, but little is known about the characterization and kinetics of Indian almond fruit (IAF) biomass. In this study, the IAF biomass was characterized using proximate, ultimate, and chemical analysis, and its pyrolysis behavior and kinetic analysis were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) technique. The results showed the heating value, carbon and hydrogen contents, and lignin content of IAF biomass, as well as its decomposition stages and activation energy. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that the pyrolysis process of IAF biomass was spontaneous and endothermic. The findings of this study provide valuable information for understanding the bioenergy potential of IAF biomass and can be compared with previous research on biomass pyrolysis.

Thermal Analysis and Kinetic Study of Indian Almond Leaf by Model-Free Methods

David Joseph et al.

Summary: Thermogravimetric analysis of Indian almond leaf reveals four decomposition stages, with mass loss primarily occurring in stage II due to the simultaneous decomposition of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Increasing heating rate leads to a shift in the pyrolysis curve, lower mass loss rate, and presence of more inert content. The calculated average activation energies of different models fall within the range of reported leaves.
