Three biomass fuels derived from oil crops, castor, jatropha and sunflower seeds were
pyrolyzed by thermogravimetric analysis up to 900 C. Jatropha residual cake presented the
higher reactivity between the three. In order to describe the mass loss, an independent
parallel reaction model was adopted and mathematically fitted, to determine kinetic
constants. Activation energy values ranged from 30 to 197kJ/mol. This technique accurately
predicted the devolatilization behavior of all samples tested.

Abstract
Three biomass fuels derived from oil crops, castor, jatropha and sunflower seeds were pyrolyzed by thermogravimetric analysis up to 900 C. Jatropha residual cake presented the higher reactivity between the three. In order to describe the mass loss, an independent parallel reaction model was adopted and mathematically fitted, to determine kinetic constants. Activation energy values ranged from 30 to 197kJ/mol. This technique accurately predicted the devolatilization behavior of all samples tested.
