This research studied the thermal conversion characteristics, kinetics, and thermodynamics of mamoncillo peels and seeds using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis. Kinetic analysis was performed using the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Starink, and Friedman methods. The reaction kinetic models were obtained by means of the master-plots method for 18 different empirical reaction models, calculating the enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, and entropy as thermodynamics parameters. It was found that the average activation energy for mamoncillo peels and seeds was 238,71 and 197,60 kJ/mol, respectively. The frequency factor was found to be between 109 and 1031 s-1 for mamoncillo peels and between 109 and 1034 s-1 for mamoncillo seeds. The average values of DH and DG were also found to be 233,83 and 192,81 kJ/mol and 164,84 and 162,10 kJ/mol for mamoncillo peels and seeds, respectively. The reaction kinetic models regarding the thermal decomposition of mamoncillo peels were found to be described by the contracting cylinder (R2) and third-order (F3) models, while those for mamoncillo seeds can be described by the second-order (F2) and contracting sphere (R3) models. It was concluded that the pyrolysis process of mamoncillo waste can be described by a complex reaction mechanism, and that these wastes have thermal properties with the potential to produce bioenergy.

En este estudio se investigaron las características de conversión térmica, cinéticas y termodinámicas de las semillas y cáscaras de mamoncillo utilizando análisis termogravimétrico no isotérmico. El análisis cinético se realizó empleando los métodos de Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Starink y Friedman. Los modelos cinéticos de reacción se obtuvieron mediante el método de gráficas maestras para 18 modelos de reacción empíricos diferentes, y, como parámetros termodinámicos, se calcularon la entalpía, la energía libre de Gibbs y la entropía. Se encontró que la energía de activación promedio para las cáscaras y las semillas de mamoncillo fue de 238,71 y 197,60 kJ/mol respectivamente. El factor de frecuencia estuvo entre 109 y 1031 s-1 para las cáscaras de mamoncillo y entre 109 y 1034 s-1 para las semillas de mamoncillo. También se encontró que el valor promedio de DH y DG estaba entre 233,83 y 192,81 kJ/mol y 164,84 y 162,10 kJ/mol para las cáscaras y las semillas respectivamente. Se encontró que los modelos cinéticos de reacción para la descomposición térmica de cáscaras de mamoncillo se pueden describir mediante los modelos cilindro de contracción (R2) y de tercer orden (F3), mientras los de las semillas se pueden describir por medio de los modelos de segundo orden (F2) y esfera de contracción (R3). Se concluyó que el proceso de pirólisis de los residuos de mamoncillo se puede describir utilizando un mecanismo de reacción complejo, y que estos residuos presentan propiedades térmicas con potencial para producir bioenergía.
