| Sumario: | <p id="p1">The manuscript attempts to understand the evolution of NOx precursors: NH<sub>3</sub> and HCN from Pyrolysis of furfural residue (FR). The pyrolysis process was carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) coupled to Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The combination revealed insightful information on the evolution of NH<sub>3</sub> and HCN. This could help us better understand the characteristics of FR derived from furfural production especially with regard to NH<sub>3</sub> and HCN. Nitrogen is considered a minor component in biomass wastes; in this study nitrogen content is about 0.57%. However, the pollution potential poised by low nitrogen content is huge through both direct and indirect processes. Thus, this study presents results that were found with regard to FR pyrolysis in pure nitrogen environment. At the heating rate of 40°C/min<sup>−1</sup>, the only NOx precursor detected was HCN at 713 cm<sup>−1</sup> as per the database provided by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NH<sub>3</sub> was not detected. The particle size of FR used ranged between 0.15–0.25 mm.</p> |
