Pyrolysis of biomass: Potential and applications

Abstract

Pyrolysis is a chemical decomposition process technique of biomass through heating without oxygen. The amount of biomass on earth is very abundant. The content of biomass such as cellulose and lignin makes biomass a material rich in carbon. These materials are promising materials to be processed into various valuable products such as biochar and bio-oil. These products are widely used as chemical sources in various applications in adsorption, fertilizer, catalyst, energy storage and chemical sources
