This work reports experimental findings for pyrolysis of the royal palm tree (RPT) waste,
particularly emphasizing the kinetic triplet, thermodynamic parameters, and characterization …

The kinetics of thermal decomposition of a forest fuel was studied by thermogravimetry.
Experiments were monitored under air and non-isothermal conditions from 400 to 900K. We …

A method to accurately understand the processes controlling the burning behavior of porous
wildland fuels is presented using numerical simulations and laboratory experiments. A …

Environmentally friendly lubricating greases may be produced by solely replacing the
mineral base oil for vegetable oil. However, the substitution of traditional metallic soaps by …

The scope of this work was to show the utility of thermal analysis and calorimetric
experiments to study the thermal oxidative degradation of Mediterranean scrubs. We …

The present paper aims to elucidate the bioenergy potential of the invasive grass Eleusine
indica based on its physicochemical characterization, pyrolysis kinetics, and thermodynamic …

The pyrolysis process and the critical ignition conditions of dead Pinus palustris needles
were studied experimentally to understand the role of smoldering in the onset of flaming …

The fire behaviour of polyether polyurethane foam has been studied at three scales: matter
scale, small scale and product scale. A method to determine the thermal decomposition …

In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the physicochemical characteristics
of Sorghum halepense, often called Johnson grass, and its performance in pyrolysis. For …

The aim of this work is to improve the understanding of the pyrolysis of species involved in
fires of Mediterranean vegetation and to propose a description and a quantification of the …
