Abstract
Non-isothermal kinetic parameters regarding to the thermal decomposition of the ligninocellulosic fraction present in compost from urban solid residues (USR) obtained through stack covered (SC) with composted material, comes from the usine in composing of Araraquara city, Săo Paulo state, Brazil, and from stack containing academic restaurant organic solid residues (SAR). The samples were periodically revolved round 132 days of composting. Results from TG, DTG and DSC curves obtained on inert atmosphere indicated that the lignocellulosic fraction present, despite the slow degradation during the composting process, is thermally less stable than other substances originated during that process. The lignocellulosic fraction decomposition, between 200 and 400°C, were kinetically evaluated through non-isothermal methods of analysis. By using the Flynn-Wall and Ozawa isoconversional method, the medium activation energy, Ea, and pre-exponential factor, lgA, were 283.0±14.6, 257.6±1.3 kJ mol-1 and 25.4±0.8, 23.2±0.2 min-1, to the SC and SAR, respectively, at 95% confidence level. From Ea and lgA values and DSC curves, Malek procedure could be applied, suggesting that the SB (Sestak-Berggren) kinetic model is suitable for the first thermal decomposition step.
