Abstract
The thermal stabilities of three annual plants (reed, kenaf and Glycyrrihiza glablra L.) are studied. Various types of pulps were prepared from reed stalks by employing the soda, kraft and soda-anthraquinone processes. Their thermal stabilities are reported. It is shown that the thermal stability measured thermogravimetrically depends, to some extent, on the amount of lignin remaining in the raw materials, i.e. the kappa number. The activation energy of the decomposition process and the decomposition temperatures of the pulps are also reported.
