Energy flow analysis and thermal degradation of municipal solid waste was carried out using differential
scanning calorimetry and thermo-gravimetric analyzer at heating rates of 10 K/min, 20 K/min, 30 K/min
and 40 K/min in a nitrogen atmosphere and temperatures between 308 K and 1273 K. The activation
energy (E
a
) is the energy barrier which must be overcome for reaction to occur. Thermal degradation
behavior experiments show that the municipal solid waste is less reactive than biomass or coal with
activation energy ranging between 205.9 to 260.6kJ/mol. These value are higher than typical wood
activation energy which ranges between 50 and 180kJ/mol and coal with a range between 30 and 90
kJ/mol. These value of activation energy can be improved by pretreatment of municipal solid waste. |
