Comparative studies of the pyrolytic and kinetic characteristics of maize straw and the seaweed Ulva pertusa.

Seaweed has attracted considerable attention as a potential biofuel feedstock. The pyrolytic and kinetic characteristics of maize straw and the seaweed Ulva pertusa were studied and compared using heating rates of 10, 30 and 50°C min(-1) under an inert atmosphere. The activation energy, and pre-expo...
