Abstract

The catalytic effect of variable-valence metal oxides on the thermal conversion of lignocellulose has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Kinetic parameters of lignocellulose pyrolysis (in an argon atmosphere) and gasification (in a CO2 or steam medium) have been calculated by the Coats–Redfern method. A mechanism for the action of the oxide catalysts in the thermal conversion of lignocellulosic feedstock has been deduced from kinetic data.
