“…The product distribution at severe conditions is shifted predominantly to compounds with less than six carbons. The displayed results agree with previous studies reporting that at lower temperatures and VRTs there is a wide range of aliphatic hydrocarbons formed, mostly in the medium and high C number range. ,, Also, the aromatic compounds observed at 675 °C and 5.6 s, have been reported as indicators of extreme conditions during the pyrolysis process . The observed triplet of alkadiene, alkene, and alkane, in that ordered sequence, for each C number has also been reported before ,, from studies conducted at larger scale than micropyrolysis.…”
