The kinetics of the pyrolysis process of sheep manure were investigated using Thermogravimetric Analysis in this work. It was heated at 30°C to 900 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. There are two stages of mass degradation, namely dehydration and devolatilisation. The temperature of the dehydration stage is 30–140 °C while the devolatilisation stage is 210–900 °C. However, mass degradation decreases at temperature >500 °C until it reaches 900 °C. It indicates that most of the volatile matter has disappeared at this temperature. The devolatilisation stage includes the decomposition of hemicellulose and cellulose (210 °C–900 °C) and lignin (>590 °C). The calculated activation energy from Friedman's non-conversional method is 21.32 kJ/mol, and Coats-Redfern is 26.20 kJ/mol. At the same time, the frequency factor value is 9.94×1018 1/s for Friedman and 3.42×1018 1/s for the Coats-Redfern method, indicating that sheep manure's pyrolysis process is a complicated phenomenon. The estimated activation energy value is then used to calculate thermodynamic properties, e.g., Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy. © 2024, International Centre for Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems SDEWES.
