Production of curing smoke: Rate of thermal decomposition of sawdust under anaerobic conditions |
|
| Authors: | Jerzy A Balejko |
| Abstract: | The rate of decomposition under anaerobic conditions of two types of beechwood sawdust in a stationary bed was examined. The first order kinetics of this process was confirmed. A formula for the yield of volatile decomposition products was established. Rate constants and parameters of their Arrhenius plot were computed from experimental data. |
