The experimental results of microalgae pyrolysis kinetics are beneficial to the reactor design in the biomass-to-energy process. To understand the complex pyrolysis process of microalgae, pyrolysis kinetics of microalgae components pretreated by wet torrefaction was evaluated using the independent p...
