Combustion Characteristic of Turmeric Industry Waste by Using Thermogravimetric Analyzer

Thermogravimetric analysis was used to study combustion characteristics of the solid of wastewater and solid waste residue of turmeric industry. There were both two distinct phases in the combustion processes of them. The ignition temperature of solid of wastewater was 364°C and the solid waste residue was 311°C, while the ignition characteristics index F_Z of them were 13.092 and 10.941 respectively. And the combustion characteristics index S and bumout characteristics index C_b of the solid of wastewater were 327.4 × 10^-8 and 1.269 respectively while them of solid waste residue were 17.3 × 10^-8 and 0.655 respectively.
