The pyrolysis process of the four biomass samples was analysed by the integrated use of thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry.
A thermogravimetric (TG) analyser TA Instruments-Waters (USA) TGA-Q500 device was used to carry Out TG runs at atmospheric pressure. Samples used in TG runs were previously dried at 105 ◦C under a nitrogen flux of 100 ml/min for 10 min
