The products of pyrolysis waste primarily include syngas (a high calorific value gas), bio-oil (a liquid biofuel), and char (a solid residue). The composition and proportions of these products vary based on the temperature and heating rate during the pyrolysis process.
-
Syngas (Synthesis Gas): This is a gas mixture that primarily contains carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), hydrogen (H2), and other hydrocarbons (CXHY). Syngas is produced more abundantly at high temperatures (above 800°C) and with rapid heating rates. It is a valuable product due to its high calorific value and potential use in various applications, including power generation and synthesis of chemicals.
-
Bio-oil (Pyrolysis Oil): Bio-oil is a brown, polar liquid composed of a mixture of oxygenated compounds. It is the main product obtained at intermediate temperatures (typically around 450-550°C) and under relatively high heating rates. The composition of bio-oil can vary depending on the feedstock and reaction conditions. It is used as a biofuel and can be further refined into other chemicals.
-
Char: Char is the solid residue left after pyrolysis, consisting of high carbon content organic matter and ash. It is produced more predominantly at lower temperatures (below 450°C) and with slow heating rates. Char has applications in various sectors, including as a soil amendment, fuel, or as a precursor for activated carbon.
Pyrolysis is a versatile process that can convert a wide range of organic waste materials, including plastics, rubber, biomass, and agricultural waste, into these valuable products. This not only helps in waste reduction but also provides alternatives to traditional fossil fuels and reduces the need for virgin raw materials. The economic and environmental benefits of pyrolysis have led to its widespread adoption in various industries, with over 1,000 projects reported in the last 15 years.
