What is it about?
* The study investigated the bio-energy potential of Tetraena coccinea, a halophilic plant found along the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast. * The researchers estimated the kinetic triplets of pyrolysis, including activation energies, using model-free and model-fitting methods. * The results suggested that the pyrolysis reaction followed a third or fourth order mechanism. * The thermogravimetric profile indicated complex conversion in the active pyrolysis zone. * The Coats-Redfern method was used to identify the most probable reaction mechanisms in two subzones of the active pyrolysis region. * The conversion process was found to be endothermic and non-spontaneous throughout the conversion range.
