TLDR
Differential thermal analysis was used to investigate the spontaneous combustion of cotton cellulose in an atmosphere of flowing air, and the temperature at which the onset of spontaneous ignition occurs, Ti, was determined as a function of sample mass, air flow rate and heating rate as mentioned in this paper.About:

Heating rate effect on char yield from cotton, poly(ethylene terephthalate) and blend fabrics
TL;DR: The obtained results show that the char, produced by thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of such polymer materials, is affected by the heating rate essentially in terms of thermal stability and yield, depending on the type of polymer and the absence or presence of air oxygen.

Self-Heating In Yard Trimmings: Conditions Leading To Spontaneous Combustion
Richard Buggeln,Robert Rynk +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe spontaneous combustion in piles of yard trimmings, starting with chemical and physical events that initiate heat-producing reactions via biotic and abiotic processes involving oxygen and a little water.

Kinetic study of the thermal decompositions of biopolymers extracted from various plants
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used thermogravimetry of biopolymers (cellulose, holocelluloses and lignin) to study the kinetics of decomposition on heating.

A kinetic model for pyrolysis of cellulose.
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the pyrolysis of cellulose at low pressure (1.5 Torr) can be described by a three reaction model, where an initialization reaction leads to formation of an active cellulose which subsequently decomposes by two competitive first-order reactions, one yielding volatiles and the other char and a gaseous fraction.

Thermal degradation of cellulose in air and nitrogen at low temperatures
TL;DR: This paper showed that at temperatures above 300°C, the rate of pyrolysis is essentially the same in both air and nitrogen, indicating that thermal degradation is independent of the oxidative reactions.

Pyrolysis of cellulose.
Fred Shafizadeh,Y.L. Fu +1 more
TL;DR: Pyrolysis of cellulose under vacuum and atmospheric pressure gave a tar that had no reducing end-group, was randomly linked, contained some furanoid rings, and was very similar to the polysaccharide condensation-product of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucose.

Kinetics of the pyrolysis of cellulose in the temperature range 250–300°C.
Anne E. Lipska,William J. Parker +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, pure alpha cellulose samples were subjected to isothermal pyrolysis in a fluidized bath in a nitrogen environment at temperatures ranging from 250C to 298C. Results were reported in terms of volatilization (based on weight loss measurements) and decomposition (in terms of glucosan loss).
