Thermogravimetric catalytic pyrolysis and kinetic studies of coconut copra and rice husk for possible maximum production of pyrolysis oil

The main objective of the present work is to study the effect of Nickel-Cerium/Alumina multifunctional catalyst (Ni-Ce/Al2O3) mass loading on pyrolysis of coconut copra and rice husk via thermogravimetric analysis. The sample is pyrolyzed from 30 �C up to 700 �C at a constant heating rate of 10 �C/m...
