Abstract: Bambusa balcooa samples of 1, 3 and 4 years old were subjected to torrefaction at 250 °C and 280 °C, and low temperature carbonization at 350 °C and 400 °C to establish their combustion, co-combustion and physicochemical properties. The combustibility of these raw and thermally treated bamboo materials was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
