Thermogravimetry analysis Figure 7 illustrates the DTG analysis as a function of temperature for the raw MS and SS and their corresponding tor-chars. In general, the DTG analysis evolution profile of lignocellulosic biomass indicates that in temperatures up to 120 °C, the removal of moisture and very light volatiles occurs;52 at a higher temperature range (220–315 °C), hemicellulose decomposition takes place. Cellulose degradation has a temperature range of 250–380 °C.
