Distributed activation energy kinetic modeling of combustion of bagasse char, rice straw char and rice husk char blends.

ABSTRACT: Utilizing lignocellulosic biomass agro-residues in the bioenergy sector is an effective way to manage the rising energy needs and minimize the carbon footprint, while significantly reducing the solid waste. This study provides a pathway for the use of lignocellulosic biomass, the biochars derived from them, and their blends for bioenergy generation. This research work investigates the combustion characteristics and kinetics of biochars derived from sugarcane bagasse (BG), rice straw (RS) and rice husk (RH), and binary blends of biochars. The combustion performance was assessed using key parameters such as ignition temperature, peak temperature, burnout temperature and maximum combustion rate. The combustion experiments were conducted in a thermogravimetric analyzer, and the kinetics was st
