Abstract

Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) of the thermal degradation of an agroindustrial waste (AIW), a mix of twophase olive mill solid waste, olive stone, olive tree pruning and the manure of sheep or chicken, was conducted under inert (nitrogen) and oxidizing (air) atmospheres. Non-isothermal conditions were employed at a heating rate of 20ÂșC/min to investigate the effect of type of purge gas (nitrogen or air). The gaseous emissions were analyzed during combustion process, and obtained results agree with other authors from small-scale combustion of agricultural biomass fuels
