TL;DR: Possible solutions to some of the problems encountered in pyrolysis are examined, including possible solutions to the interpretation of the chemical structure of humic substances in light of information provided by Pyrolysis data.
Abstract: Analytical pyrolysis is a technique currently used for investigating structural features of compler macromolecular materials. However, pitfalls appear to be widespread in pyrolysis studies of humic substances, and serious limitations can be experienced during the analytical procedure due to thermal reactions and configuration of the pyrolysis units and chromatographic systems. Pyrolysis presents inconsistencies for chemical studies, and the interpretation of the chemical structure of humic substances in light of information provided by pyrolysis data is, to say the least, hazardous. This paper examines possible solutions to some of the problems encountered in pyrolysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study pyrolysis from theory and industrial practice from two perspectives: theory and practice, and provide a detailed discussion of the theoretical and industrial aspects of the process.
Abstract: This book is useful for the study of pyrolysis from two perspectives: theory and industrial practice. Topics included are thermal decompositions and reactions of methane pyrolysis of ethane and propane, pyrolysis of n-butane, thermal reaction of olefins and diolefins, pyrolysis of heavy hydrocarbons, formation of aromatics, hydrogenolysis of toluene, mathematical modeling of hydrocarbon pyrolysis reactions, nonpetroleum feedstocks, formation and gasification of coke, surface reactions in pyrolysis units, pyrolysis furnace design, laboratory reactors for pyrolysis, and economic considerations in the design and operation of conventional pyrolysis furnaces.
