AbstractThermal decomposition kinetics of Polypropylene (PP) waste is extremely important with respect to valorisation of waste plastics and production of utilizable components viz. chemicals, fuel oil & gas. The present research study focuses on pyrolysis kinetics of PP waste, which is present as a fraction of municipal plastic waste through distributed activation energy model (DAEM). The decomposition kinetics for PP follows a Gaussian distribution, where the normal distribution curves were centred corresponding to activation energy of 224 kJ/mol. The standard deviation of the distribution for the PP sample was found to be 22 kJ/mol indicating its wider distribution of decomposition range. The data validation has been carried out by comparing the rate parameter and extent of conversion values calculated through DAEM model with the Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) experiments carried out for PP at various heating rates of 5, 10, 20 and 40 °C/min.

The thermal decomposition kinetics of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and flame-retardant PBT (FR-PBT) were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis at various heating rates. The kinetic parameters were determined by using Kissinger, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Friedman methods. The y (α) and z (α) master plots were used to identify the thermal decomposition model. The results show that the rate of residual carbon of FR-PBT is higher than that of PBT and the maximum mass loss rate of FR-PBT is lower than that of PBT. The values of activation energy of PBT (208.71 kJ/mol) and FR-PBT (244.78 kJ/mol) calculated by Kissinger method were higher than those of PBT (PBT: 195.54 kJ/mol) and FR-PBT (FR-PBT: 196.00 kJ/mol) calculated by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method and those of PBT and FR-PBT (PBT: 199.10 kJ/mol, FR-PBT: 206.03 kJ/mol) calculated by Friedman methods. There is a common thing that the values of activation energy of FR-PBT are higher than that of PBT in different methods. The thermal decomposition reaction models of the PBT and FR-PBT can be described by Avarami-Erofeyev model (A1).

Abstract Wood-SiO2 composites (WSiO2Cs) were prepared by means of the sol-gel process with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) as a reagent, and the physical properties, structure and thermal decomposition kinetics of the composites has been evaluated. The dimensional stability of the WSiO2Cs was better than that of unmodified wood, especially in terms of the weight percent gain (WPG), which achieved values up to 30%. The 29Si-NMR spectra show two different siloxane peaks (T2 and T3), which supports the theory about the formation of MTMOS network structures. Thermal decomposition experiments were also carried out in a TG analyzer under a nitrogen atmosphere. The apparent activation energy was determined according to the iso-conversional methods of Friedman, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, modified Coats-Redfern, and Starink. The apparent activation energy between 10 and 70% conversion is 147–172, 170–291, 189–251, and 192–248 kJ mol−1 for wood and WSiO2Cs with WPGs of 10, 20, and 30%, respectively. However, the reaction order between 10 and 70% conversion calculated by the Avrami theory was 0.50–0.56, 0.35–0.45, 0.33–0.44, and 0.28–0.48. These results indicate that the dimensional and thermal stability of the wood could be effectively enhanced by MTMOS treatment.

In present work, the thermal decomposition behaviour and kinetics of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids is studied by use of models derived from mass-loss data obtained from thermogravimetric analysis of Scenedesmus microalgae. The experimental results together with known decomposition temperature range values obtained from various literature were used in a deconvolution technique to model the thermal decomposition of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. The models fitted well (R2 > 0.99) and revealed that the proteins have the highest reactivity followed by lipids and carbohydrates. Generally, the decomposition kinetics fitted well with the Coats-Redfern first and second order kinetics as evidenced by the high coefficients of determination (R2 > 0.9). For the experimental conditions used in this work (i.e. high heating rates), the thermal decomposition of protein follows second order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 225.3-255.6 kJ/mol. The thermal decomposition of carbohydrate also follows second order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 87.2-101.1 kJ/mol. The thermal decomposition of lipid follows first order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 45-64.8 kJ/ mol. This work shows that the thermal decomposition kinetics of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be performed without the need of experimentally isolating the individual components from the bulk material. Furthermore, it was shown that at high heating rates, the decomposition temperatures of the individual components overlap resulting in some interactions that have a synergistic effect on the thermal reactivity of carbohydrates and lipids.

This study inspected the thermal decomposition kinetics of core-shell structured wood-plastic composite material with white mud loading in the shell. The thermal decomposition was studied via thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen atmosphere. Experiments were performed at different heating rates of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 °C/min from ambient temperature to 700 °C. Multivariate linear regression analysis was applied to estimate the activation energy with the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method, and the thermal aging life equations of composites were obtained as described in ASTM E1877 (2000). The results showed that the combustion characteristic parameters (T5%, Tp1, Tp2, and Tp3) increased at first and then decreased with increased white mud concentration. Accordingly, the average apparent activation energy (Ea) values of thermal decomposition with conversion rates ranging between 20% and 80% were 222 kJ/mol for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shell layer and the average values of 201, 226, 201, 207, and 223 kJ/mol were achieved with white mud loading of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% in the shell layer, respectively. There were no remarkable dependencies among them. The service life tf (min) and the service temperature T (K) of the core-shell structured wood-plastic composites were experimentally determined.

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.
