An Overview on Co-Pyrolysis of Biodegradable and Non-Biodegradable Wastes

Continuous urbanization and modernization have increased the burning of fossil fuels to meet energy needs across globe, emanating environmental pollution depleting fuels. Therefore, a shift towards sustainable renewable is necessary. Several techniques exploit biomass yield are trending, with pyrolysis one them. Usually, single feedstock employed in for anoxygenic generation biochar together bio-oil at elevated temperatures (350–600 °C). Bio-oil produced through can be upgraded crude oil after some modification. However, these modifications major drawbacks its large-scale adoption, as upgradation increases overall cost. recent years scientific community has been researching co-pyrolysis technology that involves lignocellulosic waste non-biodegradable waste. Co-pyrolysis reduces need post-modification bio-oil, unlike feedstock. This review article discusses advancements technological challenges co-pyrolysis, mechanism factors affect co-pyrolysis. The current study critically analyzes different research articles presented databases such PubMed, MDPI, ScienceDirect, Springer, etc. Hence, this one-of-a-kind it attempts explain each every aspect process progress field. Consequently, also compiles remarkable achievements recommendations future.
