pirolyysiöljy
Pirolyysiöljy, also known as bio-oil or pyrolysis liquid, is a dark brown, viscous liquid produced from the rapid thermal decomposition of biomass in the absence of oxygen. This process, called pyrolysis, breaks down complex organic materials into simpler compounds, including a liquid fraction. The composition of pirolyysiöljy is highly variable and depends on the type of biomass feedstock used (e.g., wood, agricultural residues, waste materials) and the pyrolysis conditions, such as temperature, heating rate, and residence time.
Typically, pirolyysiöljy consists of a water-soluble phase and an insoluble organic phase. The organic phase contains
Research and development efforts are focused on upgrading pirolyysiöljy to improve its quality for various applications.
