Pyrolysis tests of corn stover samples were performed using an SDT Q600 Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TA Instruments, Inc., New Castle, Pennsylvania, USA) in a nitrogen atmosphere. Approximately 5 mg samples were taken in standard aluminum pans and an empty pan was used as a reference. Thermograms were obtained by heating the samples from ambient temperature to 1000 °C at a heating rate of 20 °C min−1 under a nitrogen flow of 100 cm3 min−1. The weight-loss rate was obtained from the first derivative of thermogravimetric (DTG) data.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
