Abstract

The Suaeda salsa L. has been discovered to be a great potential as a new kind of renewable energy. The pyrolytic characteristics and kinetics of S. salsa were investigated at heating rates of 5, 10, 20, 30°C/min under nitrogen atmosphere respectively. The most probable mechanism function was deduced using Popescu method, which is a three-dimensional diffusion function (), and n=-2/3. Activation energy and pre-exponential factors were studied through the FWO, KAS and Popescu methods. The results showed that the activation energy increase as the pyrolysis process and three stages were observed in the TG-DTG curves of S.salsa. The results showed that S.salsa as a pyrolysis feedstock has a great potential and a good prospect in bio-oil production.
