Pyrolysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step reaction system consisting of an initial pyrolytic furnace followed by an independent reactor containing nanosized n -HZSM-5 zeolite or Al-MCM-41 mesostructured material where the catalytic reforming of the pyrolystic vapours took place was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the fuel qualities of pyrolytic and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) biochar, and showed that the pyrolysic biochar had higher energy density while the hydthermally prepared biochar has higher energy yield due to higher biochar yield.

TL;DR: In this paper, real world municipal plastic waste mainly comprising of polyethylene (low and high density), polypropylene, polystyrene, polypolyethylene terephthalate were pyrolyzed at different temperatures, ranging 450-600°C with a sample mass of 200g to create an appropriate real blend environment.

TL;DR: In this article, a new technique was proposed to produce furfural (FF) through low-temperature fast pyrolysis of biomass impregnated with ZnCl2.

TL;DR: The optimal pyrolysis temperature for bio-oil production was found to be 450 degrees C, while much smaller and larger feed sizes adversely influenced production, and higher flow and feeding rates were more effective but did not greatly affect bio- oil yields.
