Using simultaneous thermogravimetrical analysis coupled with mass spectroscopy, the pyrolysis of African palm husk, using several heat rates and programs was performed. Seven relations of mass/charge were followed of the evolved gas of the pyrolysis process, fitting the kinetics and the mass spectroscopy signals to the distributed activation energy model (DAEM) with different numbers of pseudo-components. Fitting with four pseudo-components proved to be the best for modeling the thermal degradation process. Kinetic parameters were not affected by the heating rate or program employed, which agrees with other reports for similar biomass. Methane, methanol formaldehyde, furfural were successfully fitted to the DAEM model, nevertheless CO2 and NO2 were not able to be represented by this model due to its production in secondary reactions in gaseous phase.
Se estudió la pirólisis del cuesco de palma africana utilizando diferentes programas de calentamiento, recurriendo al uso de la técnica simultánea de análisis termogravimétrico acoplado a espectrometría de masas. En los gases de evolución, se siguieron las intensidades de señal de espectrometría de masas de siete relaciones m/z. La cinética de pirólisis de este residuo del procesamiento de aceite de palma se ajustó al modelo de distribución de energías de activación con diferentes números de pseudo-componentes. Los resultados del ajuste mostraron que son necesarios al menos cuatro pseudo-componentes para modelar satisfactoriamente los perfiles termogravimétricos de la pirólisis del cuesco de palma. Se encontró que la velocidad de calentamiento no afecta significativamente los parámetros del modelo cinético, los cuales se encuentran en concordancia con los reportados en la literatura para biomasas similares. Los perfiles de las curvas de intensidad de señal para las relaciones m/z seleccionadas se modelaron utilizando los parámetros cinéticos obtenidos del ajuste de los datos termogravimétricos, lográndose resultados satisfactorios para las relaciones m/z correspondientes a fragmentos de moléculas como metano, metanol, formaldehído y furfural. La falta de ajuste de las intensidades de señal correspondientes a CO2 y NO2 se atribuyó a que la formación de estos compuestos es consecuencia no sólo de la descomposición de la biomasa, sino también a su aparición resultado de reacciones secundarias en fase gaseosa.
