Abstract
The detergent fiber method has been widely employed for the analysis of lignocellulose ingredients, which are very important for biomass research. However, its application is complicated and a large amount of waste liquid is discharged. Therefore, in this study, a quick and simple analysis of lignocellulose ingredients by thermogravimetric analysis was proposed and examined. The differences in thermal decomposition characteristics of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin were used for the quantitative analysis of lignocellulose ingredients. The practical feasibility of a proposed method as a simple and quick analytical method with no waste fluid discharge was shown by a series of experimental examinations.
