In this study, activation energy of lignite, RPF and a sample mixed both of them was obtained through kinetics characteristics analysis in pyrolysis in order to identify the applicability of RPF as an assistant fuel. TGA (Thermogravimetric analysis) was conducted with follow experimental conditions; in a nitrogen atmosphere, gas flow rate of 20 ml/min, heating rate of 5 ~ 50oC/min, and maximum hottest temperature of 800oC. As a result of TGA, it showed that pyrolysis of samples mixed with 20% and 10% of RPF were more stable than other mixed ratio, and 20% of RPF was the most similar with lignite in activation energy.
