Insight into the Pyrolysis of <i>Melocanna baccifera</i> Biomass: Pyrolysis Behavior, Kinetics, and Thermodynamic Parameters Analysis Based on Iso-conversional Methods.

ABSTRACT: Melocanna baccifera biomass's thermal degradation was investigated in a nonisothermal thermogravimetric analyzer at four heating rates. Iso-conversional methods (differential Friedman, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, Ozawa-Flynn-Wall, Starink, and distributed activation energy) were used to analyze the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. The pre-exponential factor and activation energy for all iso-conversional processes varied from 10²⁰ to 10³⁵ min^-1 and 168.70 to 218.86 kJ mol^-1 respectively. The average enthalpy and Gibbs free energy varied in the range 265.49 to 451.89 and 165.27 to 193.7 kJ mol^-1, respectively, at maximum conversion. The highest product yield of liquid plus biochar (53.67 ± 0.7 wt %) was obtained at 550 °C durin
