Kinetic analysis of Indonesian lignite washery tailings (LWT) was studied in this paper. Two methods were compared to evaluate the activation energy E of LWT, i.e., iso-conversional methods and model-based method. The Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method and the Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose method were chosen to represent the iso-conversional method. The Coats–Redfern method was chosen as the model-based method. Furthermore, a complementary method of iso-conversional and model-based was also used to determine the kinetic mechanism of LWT. The results provide useful information for designing a combustion or pyrolytic system using LWT as feedstock. Keywords LWT Kinetics Model based Iso-conversional Complementary method
