The thermal decomposition kinetics of magnesite and limestone, which are alkaline earth metal carbonates, were investigated using thermal analysis method. The research results showed that their kinetic decomposition characteristics and apparent decomposition activation energy have the comparability. Based on the thermodynamic/thermogravimetric data, the industrial production process of magnesite and limestone can draw on the experience of each other because of their similar decomposition thermodynamics and kinetics.

The decomposition kinetics of four synthetic alkaline earth metal carbonates (MgCO3, CaCO3, SrCO3 and BaCO3) was studied under non-isothermal conditions from thermo-gravimetric measurements as compared to. The integral approximation method of Coats and Redfern was used to determine the kinetic parameters for the decomposition processes. The decomposition reactions followed mostly first order kinetics and the activation energy of the decomposition reactions increased with the increase in the molecular mass of the carbonates. The change in enthalpy for the decomposition processes was also calculated and compared with the activation energies for the decomposition processes. The activation energy of the decomposition process for all the carbonates was higher than the enthalpy of the reaction excepting SrCO3.

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.
