Abstract: This study investigated the thermal properties and activation energies of raw and torrefied poultry litter samples in the range of 250–300 °C by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Four heating rates, 5 °C/min, 10 °C/min, 20 °C/min, and 30 °C/min were applied during the thermogravimetric analysis. Furthermore, co-combustion of raw and torrefied poultry litter samples with low-rank Turkish lignite was studied and the effect of the blending ratio on thermal reactivity of poultry litter was also investigated.
