Influence of minerals on the thermal processing of bamboo with a suite of carbonaceous materials

This study focuses on the impacts of minerals naturally existed in different carbonaceous materials on the thermal processing of their blends with bamboo. Combustion characteristics, such as ignition temperature, peak temperature and burnout temperature, were studied using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) to understand how thermal processing was affected by blending with different types of carbonaceous materials. Kinetic parameters, i.e.,...
