Colored cotton crop wastes valorization through pyrolysis: a study of energetic characterization and analytical Py-GC/MS.

ABSTRACT: The present work aimed to study different parts of colored cotton waste through energetic characterization and analytical flash pyrolysis. Stalks and bolls of BRS cotton cultivars from Sementes do Brasil (Green, Ruby, Topaz and Jade) were studied, using white cotton (BRS 286) as a comparison. The energetic potential of biomass was evaluated by bulk density, High Heating Value (HHV), proximate and ultimate analysis, compositional and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Pyrolysis was performed in a micro-pyrolyzer and the products were identified by gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy (Py-GC/MS). The results indicated a significant energetic potential, suggesting that can be used as an alternative energy source for thermochemical processes. The results of conventional pyrolysis indicated
