Analysis of Pyrolysis Behaviors of Biomass Residues

This project focusing on the pyrolysis behaviors on different biomass residues samples
using two different approaches, Py-GCMS and TGA machine. In this project the author also
discussed the kinetic study of each biomass during the pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis is one of the
processes that took part during the thermochemical conversion of biomass into useful energy.
Even though there are a lot of studies and experiment still ongoing to fully understand this
process, pyrolysis gain a lot of attention from the experts since the process directly convert
biomass and yields 3 major products at once; an array of solid, liquid and gaseous products only
by undergo thermal decomposition with the absence of oxygen. Therefore, to achieve the
objectives, the study first emphasize on total understanding regarding the biomass and its
conversion process. The draft of the experiment methodology will be prepared once the basic
information regarding the process is understood. The data obtain after the experiment
commencement is analyzed and comparison between all biomass residues samples will be jot
down for further discussion. Based on the above comparison, the pyrolysis behavior of each
sample is elaborated and then determined biomass with the highest energy conversion rate. The
kinetic parameters of each biomass samples are calculated to help in better understanding of the
pyrolysis process.
