The thermal decomposition kinetics of RDX at different rates was studied by thermogravimetric analyzer(TG) and the activation energy of RDX was calculated by distributed activation energy model. It is shown that the thermal decomposition processes of RDX were divided into three stages according to the TG curves, they are molten stage, thermal decomposition stage and eng stage. The activation energies of RDX are all between 124.34 and 181.48KJ•mol-1 in the thermal decomposition stage of non-monotonously increasing. The activation energy of RDX is 139.98 KJ•mol-1 in the molten stage, and the thermal decomposition stage is167.24KJ•mol-1.

Abstract The purview of paper pivoted around the pyrolysis decomposition of forest waste (pine needle litter) by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Experiments were carried out in the presence of Nitrogen atmosphere. The experimental data was compared with those obtained by numerical solution of distributed activation energy model (DAEM). Asymptotic expansion is adopted to evaluate the pre-exponential factor, mean activation energy and variance. The correction factor Bi has been invoked to describe accurately the differential thermogravitmeric curves of thermal decomposition of pine needles.

Abstract This study seeks to characterize the thermochemical fuel properties of melon seed husk (MSH) as a potential biomass feedstock for clean energy and power generation. It examined the ultimate analysis, proximate analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and thermal decomposition of MSH. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis was examined at 5, 10, 20 °C/min from 30-800 °C under nitrogen atmosphere. Subsequently, the Distributed Activation Energy Model (DAEM) was applied to determine the activation energy, E, and frequency factor, A. The results revealed that thermal decomposition of MSH occurs in three (3) stages; drying (30-150 °C), devolatization (150-400 °C) and char degradation (400-800 °C). Kinetic analysis revealed that the E values fluctuated from 145.44-300 kJ/mol (Average E = 193 kJ/mol) while A ranged from 2.64 × 1010 to 9.18 × 1020 min-1 (Average E = 9.18 × 1019 min-1) highlighting the complexity of MSH pyrolysis. The fuel characterization and kinetics of MSH showed it is an environmentally friendly solid biofuel for future thermal biomass conversion.

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.
