Kinetics study on thermal dissociation of levoglucosan during cellulose pyrolysis

- Kinetics study on levoglucosan primary decomposition in cellulose pyrolysis.
- Including C-O bond scission, C-C bond scission, and levoglucosan dehydration.
- Transition state calculation without tunneling correction is suitable method.
- Arrhenius equation for every elementary reaction and every pathway are obtained.
- One dehydration pathway is a preferred pathway for levoglucosan decomposition.
