Abstract
This study investigated the multicomponent pyrolysis kinetics and thermodynamics of sea buckthorn branch (SBB) biomass to assess its bioenergy potential. Thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fraser-Suzuki deconvolution identified three pseudo-components (PS-HC, PS-CL, and PS-LG) with peak temperatures of 283–305 °C, 344–366 °C, and 400–422 °C, respectively. Py-GC/MS analysis showed that C16-C28 alkanes and acid were the dominant products, consistent with the significant C-H and C=O group vibrations in the FTIR analysis. Activation energies for each pseudo-component from four isoconversional methods was comparable, showing an increasing order of PS-HC (157.70 kJ/mol) < PS-CL (182.53 kJ/mol) < PS-LG (228.87 kJ/mol). The master-plots method indicated that the reaction mechanisms followed 3rd, 1st and 4th order models, respectively. Positive values for ΔH (152.59, 177.17, and 224.43 kJ/mol) and ΔG (157.47, 176.99, and 190.47 kJ/mol) indicated higher energy barriers, especially for PS-LG, and lower spontaneity of the conversion process. These results highlighted the energy potential of SBB as a feedstock for bioenergy production and provided valuable insights into reactor design and process optimization for large-scale application.
