Why is it important?
This work is unique in that it applies multiple distributed activation energy model (DAEM) to thermal conversion of waste furniture board under pyrolytic conditions. Compared to global reaction models, DAEM provides better insights into the complexity and variability of the constituting components of the material. Additionally, the use of Multi-layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Networks for predicting activation energies is a timely and innovative approach that can improve the accuracy and efficiency of kinetic analysis. These unique aspects of the work make it an important contribution to the field of pyrolysis and waste-to-energy conversion, and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in this area.
Perspectives
This work is valuable in advancing our understanding of the thermal conversion of waste furniture board under pyrolytic conditions. By providing insights into the complexity of the process and offering innovative approaches for predicting activation energies, this work has the potential to inform the development of more efficient, effective, and sustainable methods for waste-to-energy conversion. I would encourage researchers and professionals in this field to read this publication and consider its implications for their work.
