What is it about?

The document discusses the use of biomass as a renewable energy source to replace fossil fuels. The authors analyze the catalytic pyrolysis process of rice husk and sewage sludge to determine the best model fitting for the process. They also apply different reaction mechanism models to calculate and analyze the kinetic behavior of non-catalytic and catalytic rice husk. The document suggests that the diffusional based model gave promising results in previous studies. Additionally, the document provides an estimate of the thermodynamic parameters. The authors' contribution statement and competing interests are also included in the document.
