Pyrolysis experiments were conducted in inert condition at three heating rates; 10, 20, and 30{\^A}oC/min. The value of activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factor (A) were calculated by Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods were 173.18 KJ/mol and 5.40{\~A}?1016 s -1, while, the Ea and A calculated from Flyyn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and Starink methods were 172.48 KJ/mol and 173.44 KJ/mol, and 4.53{\~A}?1016 s-1 and5.77{\~A}?1016 s-1, respectively. The results presented that the values of kinetics parameters calculated by these three methods are in close agreement with each other. {\^A}{\copyright} 2016 The Authors.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85013902675&doi=10.1016\%2fj.proeng.2016.06.575&partnerID=40&md5=655f71fc948397fc67a64981c00dd17c}, keywords = {Activation analysis; Activation energy; Chemical activation; Engineering research; Ionic liquids; Kinetics; Process engineering; Pyrolysis, Activation energies (Ea); Kinetics parameter; non-isothemal methods; Preexponential factor; Pyrolysis characteristics; Pyrolysis experiments; Pyrolysis kinetics; thermgarimetric analysis, Thermogravimetric analysis}, author = {Khan, A.
