Pyrolysis of Waste Biomass: Technical and Process Achievements, and Future Development—A Review

Pyrolysis has been applied in the human economy for many years, and it become a significant alternative to production of chemical compounds, including biofuels. The article focuses mostly on recent achievements technical processing aspects pyrolysis. aim review is present latest research process waste biomass pyrolysis fuel production. paper describes mechanisms process, composition, properties obtained fractions, namely gas, bio-oil, biochar. Additionally, are mentioned, with particular attention construction reactors. allows obtaining compounds (second-generation biofuels). Optimization desired products that industry, energy, transport. application oil, biochar as valuable related intensifying effects climate change, biofuel production, management accordance principles sustainable development. In there large-scale into use renewable energy sources through This will make possible significantly reduce carbon footprint produce second-generation biofuels manner. Current processes promising, therefore provide access clean low-cost have broad applications chemical, agricultural, transportation industries.
