Kinetics of heat release during decomposition of cellulose

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The kinetic behavior and temperature dependences of the rate constants for thermal decomposition are determined for cellulose of different biological origins and forms. The possibility of thermal decomposition of cellulose in a combustion regime without oxygen is analyzed.
