To realize the incineration of 2-naphthol adsorption resin from dye chemical plants,the performance of the pyrolysis and combustion characters of 2-naphthol adsorption resin has been tested on the TGDTA 92 thermogravimetric(TG) analyzer at four different atmospheres.This apparatus can perform experiments such as TG and differential TG(DTG) analyses at the same time.The experimental results indicate that 2-naphthol adsorption resin is unstable and is easy to decompose at high temperature with the presence of oxygen.The weight loss rate of 2-naphthol adsorption resin was affected by the oxygen content of the carried gas.A pyrolysis and combustion mechanism of 2-naphthol adsorption resin was presented.The pyrolysis kinetics parameters of 2-naphthol adsorption resin were obtained and a proper kinetics model was proposed.
