Abstract

The influence of steam explosion pretreatment in a basic medium on spectroscopic, morphological, and structural characterization on the thermal degradation of watermelon peels was investigated. Therefore, proximate, ultimate, thermo gravimetric analysis, Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption/desorption, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses of the treated and untreated watermelon peels were carried out. Subsequently, the thermal degradation experiments of the both materials were carried out from 25 to 1000 °C at heating rates of 10, 20, and 30 K/min in the presence of nitrogen. Pyrolysis data from thermogravimetric analysis were analyzed using iso-conversional models Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) and Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO), and the mechanism of reaction was predicted using Coats-Redfern model and multiple heating scan rate method. The results showed that the pretreatment leads to an increase in fixed carbon and volatile matter content and a decrease in the ash content compared to the untreated material. The activation energy obtained from the iterative procedure was estimated to be 103.75 and 199.60 kJ/mol using KAS model; 103.75 and 199.61 kJ/mol using FWO model for untreated and treated watermelon peels respectively. Gibbs free energy were 161.72 kJ/mol and 216.83 kJ/mol from KAS model, and 147.2 kJ/mol and 214.93 kJ/mol from FWO model for untreated and treated watermelon peels, respectively. This study by thermal analyses coupled with structural analyses has revealed the bioenergy potential of watermelon subject to steam explosion in basic condition.
