Thermogravimetric studies on the catalytic Pyrolysis of rice husk

The main objective of the present work is to study the effect of catalyst weight loading on the catalytic pyrolysis (CP) of rice husk (RH) using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The pyrolysis process is conducted at a heating rate of 10 °C/min in nitrogen (N2) atmosphere flowing at 150 mL/min and h...
