The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of propane has been investigated over a temperature range from 551° to 602 °C. The limiting high pressure first order rate constants are given by[Formula: see text]The first order rate constants fall off strongly with increasing percentage decomposition, and the rate decreases with decreasing pressure in a manner similar to the rate decrease in the decomposition of the butanes.Analyses of the products of reaction at various stages show them to be independent of temperature over the range examined, but to be affected by the initial pressure. This effect is undoubtedly due to the secondary hydrogenation of some of the initial products. The analytical results are in excellent agreement with those of Frey and Hepp.

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.

Glyphosate (GP) is a widely used herbicide worldwide, yet accumulation of GP and its main byproduct, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), in soil and water has raised concerns about its potential effects to human health. Thermal treatment processes are one option for decontaminating material containing GP and AMPA, yet the thermal decomposition chemistry of these compounds remains poorly understood. Here, we have revealed the thermal decomposition mechanism of GP and AMPA by applying computational chemistry and reaction rate theory methods. <br>
