Thermogravimetric study of biomass, sewage sludge and coal combustion

The most important results focus on the temperature of maximum weight loss rate and the effect of heating rate. The temperature of maximum weight loss rate were dissimilar (DTG profiles) for studied fuels and the effect of heating rate significantly influenced the TG/DTG curves profiles, too. The co-combustion of coal and sewage sludge or biomass results have shown that coal can be burned with biomass and sewage sludge beneficially.
