Gasification Characteristics and Kinetics of Lipid-Extracted Nannochloropsis gaditana

A thermal behavior study of lipid-extracted Nannochloropsis gaditana (LEA) was performed in a thermogravimetric analyzer. The by heating the sample under different rates (5, 10, and 15 °C/min) from room temperature to 1000 °C using N2 gas as medium. This is crucial for stability studies kinetic control regime. following three stages chemical decompositions were found: (1) moisture removal (2) devolatilization (3) fixed carbon decomposition; maximum decomposition observed at second stage. Activation energies LEA studied Flynn–Wall–Ozawa model Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose model. Main 100–700 during volatile matter evaporation. findings used gasification with air effect varying reaction parameters on compositions synthesis yield. Maximum H2 yield found 700 0.7 g, which 51.2 mol% 50.6 mol%, respectively. From study, it that suitable be feedstock production.
