Thermogravimetric Kinetic Analysis of the Pyrolysis of Rice Straw

A kinetic of the pyrolysis of rice straw is investigated with thermogravimetric analyzer with non-isothermal methods selected for analyzing solid-state kinetics data is presented. The weight loss was measured by TGA in nitrogen atmosphere. The samples were heated over a range of temperature from 298 K to 973 K with three different heating rates of 5, 10 and 15 K min-1. The results obtained from thermal decomposition process indicate that there...
