Abstract
- Pyrolysis and combustion kinetics of Chlorella vulgaris are studied using TGA.
- 2nd stage of decomposition consisting of 2 subzones is the stage of devolatization.
- Combustion produces higher biomass conversion than pyrolysis due to O2 reactivity.
- Kinetics are obtained using iso-conversional and regression methods.
- Higher energy is required for lipid decomposition than proteins and carbohydrates.
