Thermogravimetric and kinetic analyses of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) pellets using the distributed activation energy model

The thermal degradation behaviour and decomposition kinetics of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) pellets were investigated using a thermogravimetric analyser and the distributed activation energy model (DAEM). The OPEFB pellets were heated from 30°C to 1000°C at three different heating rates (5, 1...
