TG-FTIR and double-shot Py-GC/MS were executed to investigate the effects of torrefaction pretreatment on microalga (Chlorella vulgaris ESP-31) pyrolysis. TG-FTIR was performed to analyze the pyrolysis and combustion gas of raw and wet torrefied microalgae, whereas double-shot Py-GC/MS was applied t...
