Thermogravimetric analysis of empty fruit bunch
This paper presents the characteristics of empty fruit bunch (EFB) using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and shows its potential as a renewable energy sources. A set of data were collected from the thermal reaction and plotted in mass or percentage of the initial mass against either temperature or...

This paper presents the characteristics of empty fruit bunch (EFB) using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and shows its potential as a renewable energy sources. A set of data were collected from the thermal reaction and plotted in mass or percentage of the initial mass against either temperature or time, respectively. In the thermogravimetric analysis, mass, temperature and time were considered as base measurements and important data for derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curve were analysed while many additional measures could be derived from these three base measurements. It was observed that heating rate of 8.5°C/min and air flow rate of 85mL/min provided a maximum weight loss rate of 0.209%/°C at the temperature of 313.5°C and the derivative weight peak of -0.1895mg/°C at 292°C. The time taken to reach the maximum temperature of 899.9°C was 46.74 minutes, and ΔT endo-up reflected minimum point of -0.2°C at 15.82 minutes and maximum ΔT endo-up of 888°C at 42 minutes.
