Biofuel characterization and pyrolysis kinetics of Acacia mangium
The study seeks to proffer practical solutions to the sustainable waste management of Acacia mangium leaves (AML) and explore its solid biofuel (SBF) potential through thermochemical valorization. Consequently, the physicochemical, thermal and kinetic properties of AML were examined using elemental,...

The results revealed AML possesses high content of carbon, volatile matter, and fixed carbon but low moisture and ash content. The heating value of AML was compared to that of A. mangium wood.
