  2. Pyrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis

    Pyrolysis is most commonly used in the treatment of organic materials. It is one of the processes involved in the charring of wood [2] or pyrolysis of biomass. In general, pyrolysis of organic substances produces volatile products and leaves char, a carbon-rich solid residue.

  3. Pyrolysis oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis_oil

    Pyrolysis oil, sometimes also known as biocrude or bio-oil, is a synthetic fuel with few industrial application and under investigation as substitute for petroleum.It is obtained by heating dried biomass without oxygen in a reactor at a temperature of about 500 °C (900 °F) with subsequent cooling, separation from the aqueous phase and other processes.

  4. Pyrolysis gasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis_gasoline

    Pyrolysis gasoline or pygas is a naphtha-range product with high aromatics content. [1] It is a by-product of high temperature naphtha cracking during ethylene and propylene production, a high octane number mixture that contains aromatics from the aromatization reactions, olefins , and paraffins ranging from C5s to C12s.

  5. Pyrolysis gas chromatography is also used for environmental samples, [8] including fossils. [9] Pyrolysis GC is used in forensic laboratories to analyze evidence found in crime scenes such as paints, adhesives, plastics, synthetic fibres and soil extracts.

  6. Destructive distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destructive_distillation

    It is an application of pyrolysis. The process breaks up or "cracks" large molecules. Coke, coal gas, gaseous carbon, coal tar, ammonia liquor, and coal oil are examples of commercial products historically produced by the destructive distillation of coal. Many early experiments used retorts for destructive distillation.

  7. Pyrolytic carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolytic_carbon

    Pyrolytic carbon is used for several applications in electronic thermal management: thermal-interface material, heat spreaders (sheets) and heat sinks (fins). It is occasionally used to make tobacco pipes. It is used to fabricate grid structures in some high-power vacuum tubes. It is used as a monochromator for neutron and X-ray scattering studies.

    Indeed, there are more than 150 types of kale with curly kale being most commonly used in salads; lacinato kale (also known as dinosaur or Tuscan kale) used to make kale chips; Redbor kale often ...

  9. Biomass to liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_to_liquid

    Catalytic fast pyrolysis is a fast process in which the cellulose is broken down to a liquid biofuel. In this approach the cellulose is heated to 500 degrees Celsius in less than one second in a chamber to break apart the molecules. The catalyst forms chemical reactions that remove oxygen bonds and form carbon rings
