The kinetic parameters were computed by substituting the experimental and ANN predicted data into these iso-conversional equations and plotting linear plots. Among all the iso-conversional models, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) model gave the best prediction for kinetic parameters with the lowest deviation error (2.28-12.76). The bifunctional HZSM-5/LS catalysts were found out to be the best catalysts among HZSM-5 zeolite, natural limestone (LS), and bifunctional HZSM-5/LS catalyst in co-pyrolysis of binary mixture of Chlorella vulgaris and HDPE, in which the Ea of the whole system was reduced from range 144.93-225.84 kJ/mol (without catalysts) to 75.37-76.90 kJ/mol. With the aid of artificial neuron network and genetic algorithm, an empirical model with a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 51.59 was developed for tri-solid state degradation system. The developed empirical model is comparable to the thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) experimental values alongside the other empirical model proposed in literature © 2022 Elsevier Ltd. publisher: Elsevier Ltd date: 2022 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Yap, T.L. and Loy, A.C.M. and Chin, B.L.F. and Lim, J.Y. and Alhamzi, H. and Chai, Y.H. and Yiin, C.L. and Cheah, K.W. and Wee, M.X.J. and Lam, M.K. and Jawad, Z.A. and Yusup, S. and Lock, S.S.M.
