The objective of this research is to obtain porous coals from sugar cane bagasse, using acid activation, as well as its characterization, which includes the kinetics of its pyrolysis. For this purpose, solid analysis techniques were used, such as: immediate and elemental analysis, thermal analysis (thermogravimetry, derived thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry), optical microscopy and infrared spectroscopy with fourier transform. Through immediate and elemental analysis, it is evident that sugarcane bagasse can be used as a carbon source. The thermolysis shows the influence of the chemical activator and through the kinetic study it is identified that the kinetic models D3 and F1 determine the reaction rate for the stages involved. The FTIR spectra and the optical microscopy image demonstrate the greater extent of the reaction and beneficit of the acid activation.
