Research Article Pyrolytic and Kinetic Analysis of Two Coastal Plant Species:

permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The large amount of coastal plant species available makes them ideal candidates for energy production. In this study, thermo-gravimetric analysis was used to evaluate the fuel properties of two coastal plant species, and the distributed activation energy model (DAEM) was employed in kinetic analysis.Themajor mass loss due to devolatilization started at 154 and 162∘C at the heating rate of 10∘Cmin−1 for Artemisia annua and Chenopodium glaucum, respectively. The results showed that the average activation energies of Artemisia annua and Chenopodium glaucum were 169.69 and 170.48 kJmol−1, respectively. Furthermore, the activation energy changed while the conversion rate increased, and the frequency facto
