Pirolízissel

Pirolízissel is a Hungarian term referring to the process of pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. This process involves the breaking of chemical bonds in complex organic molecules, leading to the formation of simpler volatile gases, liquids (pyrolysis oil), and solid char. The specific products and their proportions depend on the type of feedstock and the pyrolysis conditions, such as temperature, heating rate, and residence time.

Common feedstocks for pyrolysis include biomass, plastics, and waste materials. For example, the pyrolysis of wood produces charcoal (char), wood gas, and wood vinegar. Pyrolysis of waste plastics can yield valuable hydrocarbons that can be further refined into fuels or chemical feedstocks. This technology is recognized for its potential in waste management, energy production, and the creation of sustainable materials. It offers an alternative to traditional methods like incineration, as it can recover energy and valuable products while reducing the volume of waste. The char produced can be used as a soil amendment or as a source of activated carbon.
