The present study aims to explore the physico-chemical properties of Mesua ferrea L. (Iron wood tree) deoiled cake (MFDC) and decomposition parameters for thermochemical methods of conversion. The physico-chemical characteristics of MFDC were investigated by bomb calorimetry, TG/DTA (10, 20 and 40°C min(-1)), elemental analysis (CHN) and FTIR spectroscopy. The proximate composition was calculated using standard ASTM methodology. The temperature profile, activation energy (E), pre-exponential factor (A) and reaction order (n) for the active pyrolysis zone of the species under investigation have been provided for the respective heating rates using Arrhenius, Coats-Redfern, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and Global independent reactions model. The current investigation suggests that within the realm of existing biomass conversion technologies, MFDC can be used as a feedstock for thermochemical conversion.
本研究旨在探索麻疯树（Mesua ferrea L.）脱油饼的物理化学性质及其用于热化学转化的分解参数。通过量热弹、TG/DTA（10、20 和 40°C min(-1)）、元素分析（CHN）和傅里叶变换红外光谱法研究了 MFDC 的物理化学特性。使用标准 ASTM 方法计算了近似组成。使用 Arrhenius、Coats-Redfern、Flynn-Wall-Ozawa（FWO）和全局独立反应模型，针对所研究物种的活性热解区，为各加热速率提供了温度曲线、活化能（E）、前因子（A）和反应级数（n）。目前的研究表明，在现有的生物质转化技术范围内，MFDC 可以用作热化学转化的原料。
