pirolüüs

Pirolüüs is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. This process transforms solid biomass into a mixture of gases, liquids, and solids. The primary products are typically bio-oil, biochar, and syngas. The specific composition and yield of these products depend heavily on the feedstock used, the temperature, and the residence time within the reactor. Temperatures for pirolüüs usually range from 300 to 800 degrees Celsius.

Bio-oil is a complex liquid mixture that can be further refined into fuels or chemicals. Biochar is a stable form of carbon that can be used as a soil amendment to improve soil health and sequester carbon. Syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, can be combusted for energy or used as a feedstock for chemical synthesis. Pirolüüs is often considered a key technology in the conversion of biomass into valuable products and energy, offering an alternative to traditional fossil fuels and waste management methods.
