Abstract

This paper deals with the influence of some factors relevant to isothermal pyrolysis of residual leaves of Cedrus deodara on the asymptotic solution of the non-isothermal n^th order distributed activation energy model (DAEM) using Gaussian distribution. Frequency factor, integral upper limit, the reaction order and the variance of Gaussian distribution are the parameters taken under purview of this study. In order to determine the kinetic parameters of the isothermal n^th order Gaussian DAEM from thermoanalytical data of loose biomass pyrolysis, the variation of these factors has been considered. The obtained results show that the predicted results for n^th order DAEM hold good at upper limit of dE, E_∞ = 39 kJ mol^-1.
