VL - 255 Y1 - 2018/// N2 - The impacts of low-transition-temperature mixtures (LTTMs) pretreatment on thermal decomposition and kinetics of empty fruit bunch (EFB) were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. EFB was pretreated with the LTTMs under different duration of pretreatment which enabled various degrees of alteration to their structure. The TG-DTG curves showed that LTTMs pretreatment on EFB shifted the temperature and rate of decomposition to higher values. The EFB pretreated with sucrose and choline chloride-based LTTMs had attained the highest mass loss of volatile matter (78.69 and 75.71) after 18 h of pretreatment. For monosodium glutamate-based LTTMs, the 24 h pretreated EFB had achieved the maximum mass loss (76.1). Based on the Coats-Redfern integral method, the LTTMs pretreatment led to an increase in activation energy of the thermal decomposition of EFB from 80.00 to 82.82â??94.80 kJ/mol. The activation energy was mainly affected by the demineralization and alteration in cellulose crystallinity after LTTMs pretreatment. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd KW - Activation energy; Chlorine compounds; Fruits; Kinetic theory; Kinetics; Mixtures; Palm oil; Pyrolysis; Temperature; Thermolysis KW - Cellulose crystallinity; Empty fruit bunches; Kinetic modeling; Low-transition temperature; Monosodium glutamate; Oil palm empty fruit bunch; Pre-Treatment; Volatile matters KW - Thermogravimetric analysis KW - cellulose; choline; glutamate sodium; sucrose; palm oil KW - activation energy; biogenic material; cellulose; low temperature; pyrolysis; reaction kinetics; sucrose; thermal decomposition; thermogravimetry; vegetable oil KW - Article; crystal structure; decomposition; Elaeis; field emission scanning electron microscopy; fruit; kinetic parameters; kinetics; low temperature; mass; morphology; physical chemistry; priority journal; pyrolysis; surface property; synthesis; thermogravimetry; transition temperature; X ray diffraction; Arecaceae; kinetics; temperature; transition temperature KW - Gravimetry; Mixtures; Thermal Analysis; Transition Temperature KW - Elaeis KW - Arecaceae; Fruit; Kinetics; Palm Oil; Temperature; Thermogravimetry; Transition Temperature ID - scholars10347 ER -
