Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was utilized for the investigation and analyzing of the combustion characteristics. Coats-Redfern methods was applied to estimate the activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factor (lnA) using twelve reaction mechanisms. TGA curve revealed that unlike PODC, AS and blends exhibit two degradation ranges. The mass loss of PODC/AS co-combustion reduced with AS addition. Kinetic study revealed that for range I, 50PODC+50AS has the best reaction rate with models P3 and P4. Ea and lnA for P3 and P4 model are (13.52 kJ/mol and 7.19 min�1) and (11.13 kJ/mol and 6.57 min�1) respectively. �H, �G, �S for P3 and P4 models are (8.4 kJ/mol, 131.15 kJ/mol, �0.2 kJ/mol.K) and (6.02 kJ/mol, 131.96 kJ/mol, �0.21 kJ/mol.K) respectively. For range II, 50PODC+50AS has the best reaction rate with model A3. The Ea and lnA for A3 model are 41.40 kJ/mol and 12.36 min�1 respectively. �H, �G, and �S for A3 model are 35.16 kJ/mol, 153.84 kJ/mol, and 0.16 kJ/mol.K respectively. Overall, 50PODC+50AS demonstrated the highest reaction rate, suggesting its superior suitability for bioenergy production. © 2023 Elsevier B.V. date: 2023 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85174017769&doi=10.1016%2fj.scp.2023.101306&partnerID=40&md5=e4b8662c052dc93a3ec9e3f28efef542 id_number: 10.1016/j.scp.2023.101306 full_text_status: none publication: Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy volume: 36 refereed: TRUE citation: Abioye, K.J. and Harun, N.Y. and Sufian, S. and Yusuf, M. and Khan, M.I. and Jagaba, A.H. and Sikiru, S. and Waqas, S. and Kamyab, H. and Al-Enizi, A.M. and Sehgal, S.S. and Gupta, M. and Rezania, S. and Ibrahim, H.
