To enhance the crystallizability and flexibility, Poly L-lactide (PLLA)/ Talc/ tributyl citrate(TBC) composites were prepared via melt extrusion and investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG). It was shown that the thermal decomposition temperature of PLLA/Talc (97:3) and of PLLA/Talc/TbC (96:3:1) had increased 7.6 oC and 16.2 oC respetively compared with pure PLLA. The thermal decomposition kinetics of pure PLLA and composites were studied by using the Ozawa–Flynn–Wall (OFW) and the Friedman methods respectively, the results indicated that the apparent activation energies of PLLA/Talc/TBC composites increased sharply in the initial stage of the mass loss.

The study is aimed at investigating the thermal behavior and decomposition kinetics of torrefied oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) briquettes using a thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and the Coats-Redfern model. The results revealed that thermal decomposition kinetics of OPEFB and torrefied OPEFB briquettes is significantly influenced by the severity of torrefaction temperature. Furthermore, the temperature profile characteristics; Tonset, Tpeak, and Tend increased consistently due to the thermal lag observed during TG analysis. In addition, the torrefied OPEFB briquettes were observed to possess superior thermal and kinetic properties over the untorrefied OPEFB briquettes. It can be inferred that torrefaction improves the fuel properties of pelletized OPEFB for potential utilization in bioenergy conversion systems.
