Abstract

Non-isothermal thermogravimetric data of two Turkish petroleum pitches were used to evaluate kinetic parameters of pyrolysis reactions. The article reports the application of Ozawa-Flynn-Wall model to deal with non-isothermal TG data for the evaluation of the activation energy corresponding to the pyrolysis of two different petroleum pitches. Non-isothermal kinetic studies of pyrolysis of the pitches based on the TGA measurements at different heating rates resulted that average activation energy of pyrolysis of pitch B (213 kJ/mol) was higher than that of average activation energy of pitch A (186 kJ/mol). Reaction orders of pitch A and pitch B were calculated as 0.6 and 0.9, respectively.
