Thermogravimetric Analysis of Different Calcination Temperature of Lemon Grass Ash

Abstract:

Lemon grass ash is produced at 0, 400, 525, 600 and 700°C calcination temperatures. The thermal stability of lemon grass ash calcination at various temperatures was examined by using a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) instrument. The lemon grass ash calcinated at 700°C exhibit the highest thermal stability due to the highest combustion of high amount of minerals such as silica, potassium and calcium occur in the sample at high temperature. Besides, lemon grass calcinated at 0°C (as control element) showed the lowest thermal stability due to the present of carboneous substance such as hemicellulose and lignin. However, the thermal stability of lemon grass ash is increased at higher calcination temperatures.
