Hi everyone,
I am after a rough estimation of percentage of cellulose and lignin in a variety of wood samples. I have carried out TGA analysis for these samples from 30-900 *C, it is possible to say the left mass at 900*C is amount of ash in the sample. I am unable to give any inference regarding percentage of cellulose and lignin in the original sample. While, these properties are not important for my simulation work but it provides a significant amount of information of the sample used for future researchers.
I wish not to carry out any other experiment as my sample set is big. Please let me know can we have any inference from TGA curves for this problem?
Thank you.
