INVESTIGATING PYROLYSIS CHARACTERISTICS OF DENDROCALAMUS ASPER BAMBOO

Green engineering investigated as a possible organic green material in the combustion process and heating applications. A bioreactor system processed Dendrocalamus asper bamboo culms as green engineering materials to theto industrial process that produces valuable elements from a natural treatment by soaking with an average of pH 7.6 level of sea-water. Pyrolysis Combustion Flow Calorimeter and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to utilized the precise heat capacity extent to characterize the materials. A waste product in this process is the activated carbon, which is highly in demand for water cleansing system and sold to neutralize the fuel cost. The primary stage at 68-89oC is the exothermic dehydration of the biomass with the release of water and low-molecular-weight gases like carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The results from this research will be significant and helpful to develop and utilize the wastes from Dendrocalamus asper bamboo with 134.58 kJ for any renewable energy product.
