Abstract:
Improved relationships between the kinetic parameters (pre-exponential factor and kinetic energy) associated with biomass pyrolysis or combustion processes are proposed. These relationships rely on observations of the mass and mass rate curves and on the experimental data through computations performed on the kinetic model which describes the mass evolution of each pseudo-component of the biomass during its thermal degradation. These relationships improve the so-called kinetic compensation effect. They are here implemented as part of the Extended Independent Parallel Reaction (EIPR) model.
