Abstract Marine and freshwater microalgae grow in two different ecosystems, which influence their properties thus requires attention prior to determining its application. This paper has successfully disclosed the thermal, chemical, and physical properties of two types of microalgae on carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation and underwent pyrolysis process. Slow pyrolysis process for marine and freshwater microalgae (Isochrysis sp. and Monoraphidium c.) was performed in the fixed bed pyrolysis reactor and TGA (thermogravimetric analyzer) to determine the product yield and study their thermal decomposition profile. The pyrolysis was completed at various temperatures (400, 450, 500, and 550°C) at a heating rate of 15 °Cmin-1 and nitrogen flow rate of 200 ml min-1. Pyrolysis in TGA analyzer ran from 27 to 800°C at three heating rates (10, 20, and 40 °Cmin-1). For chemical composition, Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis was performed on both microalgae samples. The highest yield (up to 33.9%) of bio-oil was obtained from Isochrysis sp. for all temperatures while the highest average yield (65.78%) of bio-char was collected from Monoraphidium c. species. From TGA pyrolysis, the major decomposition occurred between 200-400°C for Monoraphidium c. species. On the other hand, the decomposition profile of Isochrysis sp. was slightly slower, which may be due to the differences in lipid composition (FTIR peak 2929 cm-1). The activation energy of all tests is lower (33.6-40.3 kJ mol-1) compared to several other biomasses. Marine species fixed with CO2 showed promising results even without addition of catalyst and no additional cost needed.

The pyrolysis of bamboo waste has been investigated. The effects of carbonization temperature, heating rate and carbonization time on characters of biomass carbonization was investigated by the orthogonal design. The optimized operating condition of bamboo waste was achieved by the analysis of variance: the carbonization temperature is 400 °C, the heating rate is 10 °C /min, the carbonization time is 60min.The yield of bamboo waste under the optimized operating conditions is 31.8%, and ash is 3.9%. The thermogravimetric analysis of the bamboo waste was carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer. The analysis of TG and DSC curves indicates that the pyrolysis of bamboo waste should be divided into four steps: the dryness is below120 °C, from 120 to 240°C is preheating section, and pyrolysis occurs at 230 to 370 °C and after 370 °C is carbonization process.

The thermal gravimetric analysis of poplar was carried out at heating rates of 20°C/min,40°C/min and 60°C/min with the thermogravimetric analyzer,model Q50.The analysis of TG and DTG curves indicates that the pyrolysis process of the poplar is divided into four stages of drying, pyrolysis preheating, pyrolysis and charring.The thermal hysteresis occurs with the heating rates increasing.

Stone coal and two kinds of biomass were respectively mixed and studied during pyrolysis by using thermogravimetric analyzer. The results showed that the main pyrolysis peak temperature of stone coal is the lowest under the mixing ratio of 3:7 during the pyrolysis process. Because of the high content of alkali, corn stalk has better promotion for the coal pyrolysis compared to sawdust.

On the basis of proximate analysis, element analysis and calorific value that carried out on the sewage sludge, thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) was conducted on the research of sewage sludge pyrolysis. The loss of sludge under different heating rates was comparative analyzed. And we calculated the activation energy by using Ozawa method, Satava method was also used to infer the most probable mechanism function and kinetic parameters. the result shows that sludge pyrolysis process can be divided into three parts as 200-450°C,450-600°C and above 600°C, the Reaction mechanism functions for the pre main two parts were G(α)=(1-α)-1 and G(α)=[-ln(1-α)]2/3respectively. Its proved that Al2O3,MgO probably inhibited the decomposition while Fe2O3,CaO,ZnO promoted the degradation of organic matters under 200-450°C. CaO and Fe2O3 showed advantage while MgO, Al2O3, ZnO turned to be disadvantagble when temperature arised to 450-600°C. At the end of pyrolysis, the advantage effects order on pyrolysis : Al2O3> Fe2O3>MgO >ZnO>CaO.

The pyrolysis of methyl alkyl esters I to III and dithioesters IV to VI were theoretically calculated. All possible pyrolysis paths were considered. Both esters and dithioesters presented three potential paths via six-, four- and five-membered ring transition states, respectively. The calculation processes were calculated using MP2/6-31G(d) set. In-depth theoretical analyses were also presented, including NBO related analyses, synchronicities, and charge distributions, to reveal the detailed pyrolysis process.
