Abstract Unlike plastic, biomass can also be converted and produce high quality of biofuel. Co-pyrolysis of coconut
husk (CH) and laminated plastic packaging (LPP) were done in this study. Synergy between these two feedstock was calculated by using thermogravimetric (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) analysis.
Different activation energies of the reactions in the co-pyrolysis of CH and LPP were evaluated using the
Coats-Redfern method. Results showed an activation energy ranging from 8 to 37 kJ/mol in the different
percentage composition of the co-pyrolysis. Also, thermal degradation happens in two-stages in the copyrolysis of CH and LPP, More >
