The aim of the study was to analyze the kinetic parameters (activation energy Ea, pre-exponential coefficient A, rate constant k) of thermolysis in torrefied and raw willow wood (Salix viminalis L.), as well as to determine the effect of thermal modification conditions on the kinetics of this process. Samples of raw and torrefied willow wood in a steam atmosphere were analysed. The samples were subjected to thermogravimetric analysis under isothermal conditions. Analyses were conducted in an atmosphere of helium at 270–330°C. TG and DTG curves were recorded. The thermal characteristics of the samples were based on thermogravimetric analysis under dynamic conditions at a temperature of up to 600°C. On the basis of the data obtained from the TGA analyses, the kinetic parameters were calculated and statistical and mathematical analyses of the results were performed.
