Pyrolysis combustion involves a complex process that results in several distinct products.
Understanding these products is crucial for optimizing the pyrolysis process and maximizing its efficiency.
What are the products of pyrolysis combustion? (7 Key Products Explained)
1. Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is one of the primary gases produced during pyrolysis combustion.
2. Water Vapor
Water vapor is another significant byproduct, often produced during the drying stage and the pyrolysis process itself.
3. Charcoal
Charcoal, or solid char, is a residue that remains after pyrolysis. It consists of organic matter with high carbon content and ash.
4. Bio-Oil
Bio-oil is a brown, polar liquid composed of a mixture of oxygenated compounds. Its composition varies depending on the feedstock and reaction conditions.
5. Pyrolytic Gas
Pyrolytic gas includes carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen, and other low carbon number hydrocarbons.
6. Ash
Pyrolysis also produces a solid by-product called ash, which may contain heavy metals.
7. Liquid Organic Products
At high intensity and moderate temperature, the main product is liquid organic products, which are valuable for various applications.
