Abstract
Thermal conversion of biomass derived from energy crops is one alternative for the
production of energy. In this work, thermogravimetric analysis of poplar biomass was
carried out and both the kinetic parameters (activation energy and frequency factor) and
characteristic indexes were determined. Four poplar clones (UNAL, I-214, AF-2 and
AF-8) under no fertilization (CONTROL) or under fertilization with either dehydrated
composted sewage sludge (BIOSOLIDS) or sludge from dairy wastewater treatment
(MUD) were used in this work. Five weight loss stages were identified in the DTG
pyrolysis curves: moisture loss, active pyrolysis (two phases), passive pyrolysis and a
high-rank pyrolysis phase. Among them, the second pyrolysis active phase was the most
representative one. For this stage, BIOSOLIDS-UNAL poplars biomass was the one
that achieved the highest weight loss values. The characteristic parameters and indexes
(especially P and Pi indexes) also pointed to UNAL poplars under BIOSOLIDS
fertilization as the most favourable for pyrolytic thermal conversion.
