Pyrolysis of six nonconventional fuels has been studied by means of nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis from low (5 degreesC/min) to high heating rates (as large as 900 degreesC/min). The fuels tested included plastics, rubbers, and ligno-cellulosic materials, namely, polyethylene, poly-(ethylene terephthalate), scrap tires, ebonite, a fresh biomass, and waste wood. A kinetic expression for pyrolysis is provided for each material. The mechanisms of thermal degradation are discussed in order to underline differences and similarities between materials.

Abstract

Pyrolysis of six nonconventional fuels has been studied by means of nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis from low (5 degreesC/min) to high heating rates (as large as 900 degreesC/min). The fuels tested included plastics, rubbers, and ligno-cellulosic materials, namely, polyethylene, poly-(ethylene terephthalate), scrap tires, ebonite, a fresh biomass, and waste wood. A kinetic expression for pyrolysis is provided for each material. The mechanisms of thermal degradation are discussed in order to underline differences and similarities between materials.
