Pyrolysis Process

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that decomposes organic materials through heating in the absence, or near absence, of oxygen, making it important for converting biomass, plastics, and other carbon-based feedstocks into useful products. As temperature increases, heat breaks chemical bonds and drives the formation of solid char, condensable vapors that can become bio-oil, and noncondensable gases, with product yields governed by feedstock composition, heating rate, residence time, and reactor conditions. In engineering, pyrolysis supports waste reduction, resource recovery, fuel production, and carbon-rich material generation. Process design and operating conditions determine energy efficiency, product quality, emissions, and suitability for industrial applications.

2016

Experimental methods for fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass to produce bio-oils and for the catalytic hydrotreating of bio-oils to produce fuel range hydrocarbons are presented. Hot-vapor filtration during fast pyrolysis to remove fine char particles and inorganic contaminants from bio-oil was also assessed.

Here, we present a protocol to synthesize nitrogen/oxygen dual-doped mesoporous carbon from biomass by chemical activation in different pyrolysis modes followed by modification. We demonstrate that the microwave pyrolysis benefits the subsequent modification process to simultaneously introduce more nitrogen and oxygen functional groups on the carbon.
