pyrolysing

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition process that involves the application of heat to organic materials in the absence of oxygen. This process typically occurs at temperatures ranging from 300 to 700 degrees Celsius. The primary products of pyrolysis are gases, liquids, and a solid residue known as char or biochar. The gases produced, often referred to as pyrolysis gas or syngas, can be used as a fuel or further processed into chemicals. The liquid fraction, known as bio-oil, can be refined into various products such as fuels or chemicals. The solid residue, biochar, has applications in soil amendment and carbon sequestration. Pyrolysis is used in various industries, including waste management, biomass conversion, and chemical production. It is an attractive option for converting biomass into valuable products due to its high efficiency and the ability to handle a wide range of feedstocks. However, the process also presents challenges, such as the need for energy-intensive heating and the complexity of separating and purifying the products.
