| Abstract: | The present work involves the prediction of the concentration profiles in the case of pyrolysis of different lignocellulosic materials in isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The operative temperature range is from 573 to 973 K for isothermal conditions, and for non-isothermal conditions, the heating rate ranges from 5 to 80 K/min (5, 20, 40, 60 and 80 K/min).
The concentration for the above mentioned conditions is predicted for various biomass components, viz. cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Based on the concentration profiles of different biomass materials, it is possible to predict the pyrolysis behavior over a wide range of temperatures under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions for a large number of biomass materials, provided the activation energy and the frequency factor for the various reaction steps are known. It is also possible to ascertain the degree of combustibility of different biomass materials.
