Actually, first I pyrolyzed cellulose in a furnace under nitrogen at 600C and the I did TGA of the pyrolized cellulose in air. Now, I'd like to identify peaks in my TGA and DTG curves.
Try this. It is a systematic study of pyrolysis of cellulose 300-1100C

Besides the paper suggested by Vladimir, these two are also good:

You should take your samples and look for a hyphenated TGA-MS equipment, since suggested papers are only for comparison, your own data use to be required when writing a paper.
What was the source of your cellulose? How was it isolated? What are your cirteria of purity for your cellulose prior to analysis?
