Thermal Characteristics of Ash from Bamboo and Masson Pine Blends: Influence of Mixing Ratio and Heating Rate

Thermal characteristics and kinetic parameters of ash from bamboo and masson pine blends with different mixing ratios were investigated using a thermogravimetric analyzer at different heating rates. The results showed that bamboo ash had lower fusion temperatures than the ash of masson pine. Mixing ratios and heating rates had a significant impact on the thermal characteristics and activation energy of ash samples. There was a synergistic...
