Abstract
In the present study, the pyrolysis behaviour of Capsicum Annuum stem Waste (CAW) was studied applying thermogravimetric analysis to evaluate the intrinsic kinetic parameters to develop a pyrolysis reactor for utilizing CAW. The thermal decomposition of CAW was achieved between 373 - 1173 K under inert conditions at different heating rates of 10, 20, and 30 K min-1. Model-free kinetic methods like Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), Ozawa Flynn Wall (OFW) and Coats Redfern methods were applied to work out the kinetic parameters. To identify the utility of CAW and its biochar, physio-chemical characteristics such as proximate and ultimate analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared analysis are reported.
