<onlyinclude>'''Pyrolysis''' (from greek ''pyr,'' "fire" and ''lysis,'' "loosing/unbind") is a [[conversion technology]] that utilises a [[thermochemical process]] to convert organic compounds in presence of heat and absence of oxygen into valuable products which can be solid, liquid or gaseous. The chemical transformations of substances are generally accompanied by the breaking of chemical bonds which leads to the conversion of more complex molecules into simpler molecules which may also combine with each other to build up larger molecules again. The products of pyrolysis are usually not the actual building blocks of the decomposed substance, but are structurally modified (e.g. by cyclization and aromatisation or rearrangement).</onlyinclude>

== Process and technologies ==
== Process and technologies ==
The pyrolysis is an endothermal process which requires the input of energy in form of heat which can either be directly (direct pyrolysis) applied via hot gases or indirectly (indirect pyrolysis) via external heating of the reactor. Compared to [[gasification]], the process takes place in an atmosphere without oxygen or at least under a limitation of oxygen.
[Main description about the process and technologies (including process conditions etc.). The technologies might have further sub-categorisations these sub-categories are then used for the '''technology comparison''' '''tool''' and '''technology provider''' '''infobox''' under the chapter [[Technology sample page#Technology_providers|technology providers]]. The sub-categories can be introduced and described in subchapters as follows:]
 
In general, pyrolysis can be divided into different steps which includes:
 
# Evaporation and vapourisation of water and other volatile molecules which is induced at temperatures > 100 °C
# Thermal excitation and dissociation of the molecules induced at temperatures between 100-600 °C, which also may involve the production of free radicals as intermediate stage
# Reaction and recombination of the molecules, and triggering of chain reactions through free radicals
 
The pyrolysis process and the formation of products can be controlled to a certain extend via different temperature ranges and reaction times as well as by utilising reactive gases, liquids, catalysts, alternative forms of heat application (e.g. via microwaves or plasma), and a variety of [[reactor designs]]. Depending on the residence time and temperature as well as different technical reaction environments the pyrolysis can be categorised under diffferent terms as follows.
 
=== Categorisation according residence time and temperature ===
 
* Fast pyrolysis
* Intermediate pyrolysis
* Slow pyrolysis (charring, torrefaction)


=== Categorisation according technical reaction environment ===
=== Category 1 ===
Depending on these factors the pyrolysis technology can be divided into different categories as follows:
[Description about a special sub-category of the technology including the main features and differentiation from the other subcategories. If applies: advantages, disadvantages, limitations, differences in ability to process different feedstocks, product quality.]


* Catalytic cracking
=== Category 2 ===
** One-step process
[Description about a special sub-category of the technology including the main features and differentiation from the other subcategories. If applies: advantages, disadvantages, limitations, differences in ability to process different feedstocks, product quality.]
** Two-step process
* Hydrocracking
* Thermal cracking
* Thermal depolymerisation?


=== Reactions ===
=== Reactions or physical principle ===
A range of different reactions occur during the process such as [[dehydration]], [[depolymerisation]], [[isomerisation]], [[aromatisation]], [[decarboxylation]], and [[charring]]<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|author=Hu, X. and Gholizadeh, M.|year=2019|title=Biomass pyrolysis: A review of the process development and challenges from initial researches up to the commercialisation stage|journal=Journal of Energy Chemistry|volume=39|issue=|page=109-143|doi=doi:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jechem.2019.01.024}}</ref>.
[Reactions or physical principles can explained in more detail if needed. It can be considered that reactions or physical principles are explained in separate articles/pages which is useful to prevent repetitions when several technologies are based on same principles. Separate articles/pages can be linked accordingly in this section.]


== Product ==
== Product ==
A range of solid, liquid, and gaseous products can be obtained from the pyrolysis process including [[char]], [[pyrolysis oil]], and [[pyrolysis gas]]. Depending on the feedstock origin and composition as well as the pre-treatment and process the yield as well as the chemical and physical properties of the products can vary.
[Main description about the products that are obtained including application fields, as well as potentially impacts on quality, yield etc. Sub-chapters as follows are recommended if several products are obtained:]


=== Char ===
=== Product 1 ===
[[File:Charcoal.jpg|thumb|Wood-based char]]
[Description about the products that are obtained including application fields, as well as potentially impacts on quality, yield etc.]
As mentioned the functional properties of char may vary which includes carbon content, functional groups, heating value, surface area, and pore-size distribution. The application possibilities are versatile, the char can be used as soil amendment for carbon sequestration, soil fertility improvement, and pollution remediation. Furthermore the char can be used for catalytic purposes, energy storage, or sorbent for pollutant removal from water or flue-gas.  


=== Pyrolysis oil ===
=== Product 2 ===
[[File:Corn Stover Tar from Pyrolysis by Microwave Heating.jpg|thumb|upright|Pyrolysis oil from corn stover pyrolysis]]
[Description about the products that are obtained including application fields, as well as potentially impacts on quality, yield etc.]
Produced pyrolysis oil is a multiphase emulsion composed of water and and hundrets of organic molecules such as acids, alcohols, ketones, furans, phenols, ethers, esters, sugars, aldehydes, alkenes, nitrogen- and oxygen- containing molecules. A longer storage or exposure to higher temperature increases the viscosity due to possible chemical reactions of the compounds in the oil which leads to the formation of larger molecules<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|author=Czernik, S. and Bridgwater|year=2004|title=Overview of Applications of Biomass Fast Pyrolysis Oil|journal=Energy & Fuels|volume=18|issue=2|page=590-598|doi=10.1021/ef034067u}}</ref>. The presence of oligomeric species with a molecular weight >5000 decreases the stability of the oil<ref name=":0" />, furthermore the formation of aerosols from volatile substances accelerates the aging process in which the water content and phase separation increases. The application as fuel in standard equipment for petroleum fuels (e.g. boilers, engines, turbines) may be limited due to poor volatility, high viscosity, coking, and corrosiveness of the oil<ref name=":1" />. To overcome these problems the pyrolysis oil has to be upgraded in a [[post-treatment]] to be used as fuel and/or the equipment for the end-application has to be adapted.
 
=== Pyrolysis gas ===
Syngas can be obtained from the pyrolysis gas which is composed of different gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, suphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and ammonia<ref name=":0" />. The different gases can be fractionated from each other in the post-treatment to utilise them for different applications such as the production of chemicals, cosmetics, food, polymers or the utilisation as fuel or technical gas.


=== Post-treatment ===
=== Post-treatment ===
 
[Description or list about post-treatments that are necessary after the feedstock is processed via the technology. [[Pre-processing]] or [[Post-processing]] might provide suitable candidates that can be linked. If they are not covered yet please provide feedback or feel free to create pages for missing pre-treatments.]

BioBTX was founded in 2012 by KNN and Syncom, in collaboration with the university of Groningen, Netherlands. The company is a technology provider developing chemical recycling technologies for different feedstocks including non-food bio- and plastics waste. In 2018 a pilot plant with the capability to process biomass and plastic waste was set up at the Zernike Advanced Processing (ZAP) Facility. The company is now focused on setting up their first commercial plant with a capacity of 20,000 to 30,000 tonnes. The investing phase B was recently completed, with the last investment phase in 2019 the financial requirements are fulfilled to complete the commercialisation activities to build the plant which is expected for 2023.
 
The technology is based on an Integrated Cascading Catalytic Pyrolysis (ICCP) process, being able to produce aromatics including benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) as well as light olefins from low grade biomass and plastics waste. This technology utilises catalytic cracking in a two-step process at temperatures between 450- 850 °C. In the first step the feedstock material is vaporised via thermal cracking. The pyrolysis vapours are then directly passed into a second reactor in which they are converted into aromatics by utilising a zeolite catalyst which can be continuously regenerated. Finally, the products are separated from the gas via condensation. An ex situ approach of catalytic conversion has several advantages such as the protection of the catalyst from deactivation/degradation expanding its lifetime, a greater variety of feedstock, and a precise adjustment of process conditions (e.g. temperature, catalyst design, and Weight Hourly Space Velocity (WHSV) in each step for improved yields. In current pilot plant with 10 kg h-1 feed capacity for either waste plastics or biomass, final design details are established, which will be include in the running engineering activities for the commercial plant.

[Description or list about pre-treatments that are necessary before the feedstock can be processed via the technology. Pre-processing or Post-processing might provide suitable candidates that can be linked. If they are not covered yet please provide feedback or feel free to create articles/pages for missing pre-treatments.]

Process and technologies

[Main description about the process and technologies (including process conditions etc.). The technologies might have further sub-categorisations these sub-categories are then used for the technology comparison tool and technology provider infobox under the chapter technology providers. The sub-categories can be introduced and described in subchapters as follows:]

Category 1

[Description about a special sub-category of the technology including the main features and differentiation from the other subcategories. If applies: advantages, disadvantages, limitations, differences in ability to process different feedstocks, product quality.]

Category 2

[Description about a special sub-category of the technology including the main features and differentiation from the other subcategories. If applies: advantages, disadvantages, limitations, differences in ability to process different feedstocks, product quality.]

Reactions or physical principle

[Reactions or physical principles can explained in more detail if needed. It can be considered that reactions or physical principles are explained in separate articles/pages which is useful to prevent repetitions when several technologies are based on same principles. Separate articles/pages can be linked accordingly in this section.]

Product

[Main description about the products that are obtained including application fields, as well as potentially impacts on quality, yield etc. Sub-chapters as follows are recommended if several products are obtained:]

Product 1

[Description about the products that are obtained including application fields, as well as potentially impacts on quality, yield etc.]

Product 2

[Description about the products that are obtained including application fields, as well as potentially impacts on quality, yield etc.]

Post-treatment

[Description or list about post-treatments that are necessary after the feedstock is processed via the technology. Pre-processing or Post-processing might provide suitable candidates that can be linked. If they are not covered yet please provide feedback or feel free to create pages for missing pre-treatments.]

Technology providers

[This chapter begins with the technology comparison tool that includes obligatory information. The comparison tool is customised for each technology (since especially the datafields for technology and process details as well for the feedstock and product need relevant/suitable fields).]
