MINERAL CONTENT AND PYROLYSIS OF SELECTED PLANT MATERIALS.

Abstract

Recent studies of pyrolysis of plant materials indicate that the rate of thermal degradation and the amount of volatile materials formed are directly related to the silica-free ash content (SFA) of the material. However, plants with SFA above 12 percent that were tested did not fit these relationships. Evidence was found that only certain constituents of SFA are effective in inhibiting pyrolysis. (Author)
