abstract = "The pyrolysis process of two low-rank coals (lignite Kostolac and Kolubara), and two waste
materials (spent coffee ground and tyre rubber granulate) as well as their blends, have been
examined by preliminary thermogravimetric analysis. Thermal decomposition experiments were
performed in an N2 atmosphere on raw (pyrolysis) and blend (co-pyrolysis) samples at heating
rates of 10, 15, and 20 K min-1. The lignite-waste blend was created in the following mass
percentage ratios 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30. Based on obtained experimental data, the strong
interactions were identified between the examined lignite and waste materials during copyrolysis,
indicating the presence of a positive synergistic effect. The characteristics of the raw
waste sample and the heating rate were recognized as two key parameters that influenced the
synergy result with lignite sample, in lignite-spent coffee ground blends. For lignite-waste rubber
granulate blends, the blending ratio is critical for beneficial synergistic effect (ratios of waste
rubber granulate with lignite less than 30% are preferred). The probable synergistic mechanisms
were further explained using performed kinetic analysis by varying the effective activation energy
with temperature and conversion. In addition, the influence of micro-scale condition
characteristics such as heating rate (as the experimental regulatory factor) on the magnitude
response of synergistic effect during co-pyrolysis was also investigated in this work.",
