==== Pyrolysis ====
Pyrolysis is the thermochemical decomposition of organic compounds. In particular, the cracking of chemical bonds takes place with the formation of three different fractions: a solid, a liquid and a gaseous fraction. The pyrolysis reaction takes place with a temperature in the range of 250-700°C. It is an endothermic reaction and, as in the drying step, the heat required comes from the oxidation process. The pyrolysis of organic material can be schematized with the following overall reaction:
