Non-isothermal thermogravimetry analysis was applied to study the thermal decomposition kinetics of ulipristal acetate (form B). According to the experimental result, ulipristal acetate (form B) decomposed included three steps. Based on different kinetics function of corresponding thermal decomposition mechanisms and experimental data of ulipristal acetate (form B), decomposition mechanisms of three steps of ulipristal acetate (form B) were analyzed by differential method. According to fitting results of different mechanism functions, decomposition mechanisms of three steps of ulipristal acetate (form B) were determined, and three corresponding thermal decomposition dynamic functions were also obtained.

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.
