Pilot scale thermolysis of municipal solid waste

Syngas production from pyrolysis of municipal solid waste (MSW) with dolomite as downstream catalysts

“…The water in oil was due to the breaking down of groups that contain oxygen, principally hydroxide (OH) groups, giving rise to the formation of pyrolysis water over a wide range of temperatures [28]. The water could participate in pyrolysis process described by the following reactions:…”

“…(4)), were the main factors responsible for the increase in H 2 and CO contents. Furthermore, the higher H 2 content of the syngas production may be due to the cracking of hydrocarbons favored by higher temperatures, in addition to the contribution of the hydrogen in the elemental composition of MSW [28]. Except those from the aforementioned sources, CO may be from the cracking of the carbonyl group, the rupture of oxygen heterocycle and the dehydrogenation of hydroxyl group [29].…”

Pyrolysis of agricultural residues from rape and sunflowers: Production and characterization of bio-fuels and biochar soil management

“…In the pyrolysis process the heavier hydrocarbons are cracked giving rise to lighter ones; these are the greatest interest as their heating values are higher [7]. Bio-oil is a complex mixture, highly oxygenated with a great number of large size molecules, which nearly involve all species of oxygenated organics, such as esters, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, phenols, carboxylic acids and alcohols [8].…”

Analytical Pyrolysis Study of Peanut Shells using TG-MS Technique and Characterization for the Waste Peanut Shell Ash

“…Thermogravimetry -mass spectroscopy (TG-MS) appears to be a promising solution to study biofuel pyrolysis [14,15]. In pyrolysis, heavier hydrocarbons can be cracked giving rise to lighter ones, which is the greatest interest as their heating values are high [16]. Here, it is important to note that for comparing their heating values, they are unified to present in the same unit (kJ/kg or kJ/Nm 3 ).…”
