  1. Pyrolysis - Wikipedia

    Pyrolysis is one of the various types of chemical degradation processes that occur at higher temperatures (above the boiling point of water or other solvents). It differs from other …

  2. Pyrolysis | Chemical Reaction & Energy Conversion | Britannica

    Sep 20, 2025 · Pyrolysis transforms organic materials into their gaseous components, a solid residue of carbon and ash, and a liquid called pyrolytic oil (or bio-oil). Pyrolysis has two …

  3. What is Pyrolysis? : USDA ARS

    Pyrolysis is the heating of an organic material, such as biomass, in the absence of oxygen. Biomass pyrolysis is usually conducted at or above 500 °C, providing enough heat to …

  4. What Is Pyrolysis and How Does It Work? - Live to Plant

    Jul 19, 2025 · Pyrolysis is a powerful thermochemical process that breaks down organic materials by heat in the absence of oxygen yielding valuable products like bio-oil, syngas, and char.

  5. Pyrolysis | Basic Principles, Types and Uses - Engineeringa2z

    Sep 11, 2024 · Pyrolysis is a technology that converts biomass into liquid products that can be turned into biofuels, fuel additives, and chemical replacements. It involves heating organic …

  6. Pyrolysis: What it is, how it works, and its applications

    Jan 24, 2025 · Pyrolysis is a process that uses high temperatures in an environment without oxygen to decompose materials without combustion. As a result, three main by-products are …

  7. What is Pyrolysis? - Wakefield BioChar

    Pyrolysis is a process that involves heating organic materials in the absence of oxygen. Unlike burning, which requires oxygen, pyrolysis decomposes materials through heat alone.

  8. Pyrolysis - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of (in the current context) organic materials at elevated temperatures in an inert atmosphere. The process involves a change of chemical composition …

  9. What is Pyrolysis? - BYJU'S

    Pyrolysis can be defined as the process of subjecting substances to highly elevated temperatures in relatively inert atmospheres in order to facilitate their thermal decomposition.

  10. Pyrolysis in Chemistry: Definition, Types & Practical Uses

    Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of organic materials at high temperatures (typically above 400°C) in the complete or near-complete absence of oxygen. Instead of burning, the heat …
