Kinetics of the Pyrolysis of Lignin Using Thermogravimetric and Differential Scanning Calorimetry Methods
Abstract
The thermal behavior of a hardwood lignin found in Eastern Canada was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Kinetic parameters were determined for pyrolysis of lignin from room temperature to 300 at 15 °C·min −1 . The maximum rate of thermal destruction of lignin occurred between 246−259 °C. The DSC thermogram of lignin showed an endothermic peak at approximately 113 °C. The kinetic model was applied, and the activation energy for the lignin was calculated. The weight loss data showed first order decomposition with Arrhenius behavior. The activation energy value obtained for lignin was in the range of 8−68 kcal·mol −1 . The results showed that the kinetic model fitted the data well in the specific range of temperatures. The present model was also compared with the experimental data available in the literature, and the comparisons of E a values are tabulated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
