Kinetic Study of Waste Tires by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA): Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) Method
Résumé
The kinetics of thermal decomposition of waste tire WT was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). We used in this study the Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) method to calculate the kinetic parameter, the activation energy Ea versus the conversion degree. Analyses were performed at the heating rates 10, 40, and 60 ℃/min. The algorithm developed here allows the calculation and the simulation of the solid temperature at different conversion degrees for various heating rates. The good correlation between experiments and simulations validated the proposed algorithm.
