  ABSTRACT: A thermogravimetric analyzer was used to conduct a kinetic investigation of rice husk pyrolysis. The major goal is to investigate the reaction kinetics of rice husk at various heating rates in an inert 99.5 percent nitrogen atmosphere. Kinetics’ importance can be explained by the fact that it provides evidence for chemical process mechanisms. Understanding reaction mechanisms can help you figure out the best way to get a reaction to happen. Furthermore, it is of fundamental scientific interest. The samples were heated at different heating rates of 5, 10, 20, and 40 K min-1 from ambient temperature to 973 K. The thermal degradation characteristics and the kinetic parameter were determined. The values show that the activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factor (A) vary with heating rates and temperature.
