  1. Pyrolysis - Wikipedia

    In the chemical process industry, pyrolysis refers to a partial thermal degradation of carbonaceous materials that takes place in an inert (oxygen free) atmosphere and produces both gases, …

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

    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 …

  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. 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.

  7. 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 …

  8. What is Pyrolysis? | Explainer | Onnu

    Pyrolysis is the process in which material is heated to very high temperatures without any oxygen present. While this may seem to share similarities to regular burning, the absence of oxygen is …

  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 - Vedantu

    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 …
