Kinetics of devolatilization of oil palm solid wastes using thermo-gravimetric analysis

The kinetics of the devolatilization of oil palm fibres and shells have been determined in a Thermo-Gravimetric Analyser (TGA). The TGA data indicate that the devolatilization process begins around 200°C and terminates around 600°C. The Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) data indicate the existe...
