Decomposition Characteristics and Kinetics of Microalgae in N₂ and CO₂ Atmospheres by a Thermogravimetry

Table 3

Results from thermogravimetric analysis in N₂ atmosphere with different heating rates.

Heating rate (°C/min)	(°C)	(°C)	(%/min)	(°C)	(%/min)
10	165.35	321.92	−3.89	568.38	−0.78
20	171.37	330.01	−8.47	560.57	−1.67
40	176.73	340.16	−16.8	556.54	−3.44

Note: , the initial degradation temperature; , the final degradation temperature, , degradation peak temperature; , differential thermal gravity value at a peak temperature. is the average weight loss rate of the temperature ranging from 100 to 1000°C.
