Cameroon has cotton and textile industries based in the northern provinces. Sodecoton gins Cameroon's raw cotton and sells 7 percent of its product to Cicam, a textile company. Cicam employs 1,500 workers at factories in Garoua and Douala, producing fabric sold on regional markets. Cicam is the largest textile producer in the Central African region, but it has experienced difficulties in competing against imports from Nigeria and East Asia. During the late 1990s, increasing imports of cheap used clothing from Europe and the United States reduced Cicam's domestic market.
Gas chromatographyâmass spectrometry (GCâMS) was used to identify volatile and semivolatile organic compounds generated by the thermal degradation reactions. The main aim of this paper has been to propose two models to describe the pyrolysis and combustion degradation of flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) wastes. In order to obtain a single set of kinetic parameters for pyrolysis and combustion, a wide range of runs were performed in each condition.
