Activated carbons from lignin: kinetic modeling of the pyrolysis of Kraft lignin activated with phosphoric acid 

 -  Chemical Engineering Journal, 106(1), p.1-12, 2005 .
<br/><br/> A phenomenological kinetic model has been developed for the pyrolysis at low heating rates of lignin activated with phosphoric acid. The model is based on thermogravimetry (TG)and differential thermogravimetry (DTG)data from pyrolysis experiments and assumes that lignin carbonization proceeds through a set of pseudo-first-order reactions. These reactions are a simplified description of the multiple reactions involved in the process. TG experiments were performed in nitrogen atmosphere for lignin (L)impregnated with 85
