Pyrolysis is process by which organic materials are decomposed chemically. This is done by heating the material at extremely high temperature in the absence of oxygen. The heat changes the chemical composition of the material. There are many methods for pyrolysis. The final product is determined by the temperature and speed at which pyrolysis done.
Fast pyrolysis produces liquid fuel, slow pyrolysis produce gases and solid charcoal. For example, pyrolysis of waste plastics can produce millions of liters of fuel.
Similarly, the pyrolysis of waste tyres can produce high energy gas, hydrocarbon oil, char, and steel. Biomass can be pyrolised to generat oil also. So, pyrolysis is one of the ways in which waste can be managed, and used for energy recovery.
