Abstract

Biomasses materials such as cotton stalk and rice husk are known as inexhaustible origin of energy. Over thermal brake down biomass samples have ability to propose an uninterrupted stock of biofuels. For energy production significant thermal properties of biomasses should be recognized for plan a commercial plants using biomass as a raw material. Cotton Stalk and Rice Husk sample’s kinetic features were performed under pure oxygen 99.9 %,  temperature was raised from ambient to 950 °C to maintain the heating rate of 30 °C/min. Cotton Stalk and Rice Husk spoilage was apprise at three dissimilar points Kinetic fragments were measured for selected samples. Under oxygenated environment activation energies calculated was 116, 130 Kj/mole, and regression coefficient R^2 was 0.9987, 0.99983 for given samples sequence.
