Summary of Process of Pyrolysis

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

The video explains the process of pyrolysis which involves the pretreatment of biomass followed by the pyrolysis reaction that produces gas and liquid products and leaves a solid residue rich in carbon. The purified gases are separated and the bio-oil is condensed and stored in an oil tank for transportation or storage. The importance of the size and moisture content of the biomass in the efficiency and nature of the end product is emphasized. The Pyrofield education project, funded by the National Science Foundation and US Department of Agriculture, is the source of the video.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the video, the process of pyrolysis is explained. The first step is the pretreatment of biomass, where the size and moisture content of the stalks are important factors that can affect the efficiency and nature of the product. The second step involves the paralysis reaction, which produces gas and liquid products and leaves solid residue richer in carbon. The third step is traction, where purified gases are separated and bio-oil is condensed and deposited while non-condensable gases are recycled. The produced bio-oil is then stored in an oil tank for transportation or storage. The video is part of the Pyrofield education project, which is funded by the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Agriculture.
