Thermogravimetric characteristics and pyrolysis kinetics of Alga Sagarssum sp. biomass

The proposed lumped kinetic model represented the experimental results well and the kinetic rate constants suggested a predominant pyrolysis reaction pathway from Sagarssum sp. to bio-oil, rather than from Sagarssum sp. to gas. The kinetic rate constants indicated that the predominant reaction pathway was A (Sagarssum sp.) to B (bio-oil), rather than A (Sagarssum sp.) to C (gas; C1-C4).
