The regenerated cellulose was characterized by TGA, FTIR and XRD analyses. Kinetics of thermal degradation of this cellulose was carried out under dynamic condition using thermogravimetry. Coats-Redfern kinetic model was used to determine the kinetic parameters for the degradation process. The activation energy for the thermal degradation of the regenerated cellulose has been found to be less than the precursor waste paper. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications. %Z cited By 0; Conference of 2012 2nd International Conference on Key Engineering Materials, ICKEM 2012 ; Conference Date: 26 February 2012 Through 28 February 2012; Conference Code:89211
