AI summary

The present disclosure relates to the technological field of pyrolysis kinetics and in particular to a method and a system for obtaining a pyrolysis kinetics parameter of a solid material and a storage medium thereof. The method of obtaining a pyrolysis kinetics parameter of a solid material includes: collecting an experimental curve of a mass loss percentage of a pyrolysate sample along with changes in temperature or time; constructing a kinetic mechanism function library and traversing each kinetic mechanism function to obtain a simulation curve of the mass loss percentage corresponding to each kinetic mechanism function along with changes in temperature or time; respectively calculating a root mean square error (RMSE) between the simulation curve of the mass loss percentage corresponding to each kinetic mechanism function along with changes in temperature or time and the experimental curve of the mass loss percentage along with changes in temperature or time; and sorting each RMSE and taking the kinetic mechanism function corresponding to a minimum RMSE as the pyrolysis kinetics parameter of the solid material.
