Abstract

The kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis of Siberian fir bark were estimated by thermogravimetric analysis. The thermochemical conversion of the bark biomass was performed at heating rates of 5, 10, and 20 deg/min in an inert (argon) medium. The results of thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analyses were studied by model-fitting (Arrhenius and Coats–Redfern) and model-free (Friedman and Ozawa–Flynn–Wall) kinetic methods. The most reliable values of the activation energy were obtained by the model-free Ozawa–Flynn–Wall and Friedman methods (159 and 156 kJ/mol, respectively). It was shown that using these kinetic models enables one to determine more accurate temperature ranges of decomposition of biomass components under pyrolysis conditions.
