Parameters of Decomposition and Combustion of Reed Vegetation: 1. Mechanism and Kinetics of Thermooxidative Decomposition and Pyrolysis

The parameters of decomposition and combustion of reed plants, which characterize the combustible material and the material required for the physical and mathematical modeling of the occurrence and development of a fire, as well as determining the risk of its consequences, are formulated. According to the results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the content of the main components in the leaves and stem of the plant is estimated, and the mechanism and parameters of the macrokinetics of their thermooxidative decomposition and pyrolysis are determined.
