Pirolyysin
Pirolyysi, also known as pyrolysis, is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in an inert atmosphere. This process is often described as destructive distillation because it involves breaking down complex organic molecules into simpler ones through heat. Unlike combustion, which requires oxygen and results in the generation of gases like carbon dioxide and water, pyrolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen, preventing complete combustion.
The primary products of pyrolysis are typically a solid residue called biochar (or char), a liquid fraction
The biochar produced is a carbon-rich material that can be used for soil amendment, carbon sequestration, or
