The majority of the pyrolysis kinetics models presented in the literature is nonlinear. In these models, the influence of temperature is normally described by the Arrhenius equation. In some studies related to parameter estimation of nonlinear models suggestions can be found for reparameterization of the Arrhenius-type equation due to inadequate results on the parameter estimation. In this work, kinetic modeling is proposed in order to predict the primary biomass decomposition behavior under a dynamic regime. This model is based on the traditional model of parallel reactions and uses the Arrhenius-type equation in the reparameterized form. Some nonlinearity measures are used as a tool to correctly estimate the kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis of sugarcane bagasse. The predictions from the proposed model properly reproduced the experimental DTG curves. The reparametrized model showed non-significance for bias and nonlinearity measures.
