Analytical pyrolysis studies of corn stalk and its three main components by TG-MS and Py-GC/MS

► Each actual component of corn stalk was used for pyrolysis studies. ► Thermochemical stabilities of samples were first compared under the same conditions. ► Py-GC/MS and TG-MS used in combination to provide more pyrolysis information. ► Impact and contributions of components on raw material pyrolysis were discussed.
