ABSTRACT
In this paper, pyrolysis and combustion characteristics are investigated by Thermogravimetric-Infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR). And the characteristics of volatile products during pyrolysis and combustion were discussed in comparison with the characteristic functional groups and the mass-to-charge ratio of volatile products. The effects of different atmospheres were compared by combining the weight loss process and volatile evolution. The results show that there are two significant weight loss peaks in the process of weight loss and the characteristic temperature of combustion is earlier than that of pyrolysis. The presence of oxygen results in a much lower total volatile organic matter combustion than pyrolysis.
