【 摘 要 】

Determination of the characteristics of rice husk (RH) with plastic bag (PB) mixture as a source of energy is carried out in pyrolysis study. Test characteristics of RH with PB mixture is performed by using a thermogravimetric analysis at temperatures from 30 - 800°C, heating rate of 10°C/min, and nitrogen flow rate of 50 ml/min. The dehydration process occurs at temperatures from 40 - 100°C, while for thermal degradation at temperatures from 200 - 340°C, 400-500°C, and 580 - 6700C. Activation energy and calorific value of RH with PB mixture increase significantly with the addition of 10%, 30%, and 50% PB in RH. It is concluded that pyrolysis characteristic of RH with PB mixture is better as fuel for power generation if compared with its original state.
