Pyrolysis is an applicable method that has been widely used to recover hydrocarbons from Used Lubricating Oil (ULO). However, large-scale application of this approach has been limited by its noticeably energy and time consuming nature. In the present research, it has been attempted to modify the energy and time requirements of ULO pyrolysis using the catalytic effects of metal oxide nanoparticl...

Salty food waste is difficult to manage with previous methods such as composting, anaerobic digestion, and incineration, due to the hindrance of salt and the additional burden to handle high concentrations of organic wastewater produced when raw materials are cleaned. This study presents a possibility of recycling food waste as fuel without the burden of treatment washing with water by pyrolyzi...

Two techniques based on analytical pyrolysis and mass spectrometry, direct exposure-MS (DE-MS) and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), were used to characterise waterlogged archaeological wood and to study degradation patterns of wood in aqueous environments. The two techniques were applied to samples from the excavation of the Site of the Ancient Ships of Pisa San Rossor...

Issue: Pulp and paper industry were originally designed and constructed to use virgin wood feedstocks as a raw material. Some of the virgin wood fiber used for the pulp and paper industry is from lower value roundwood logs that are chipped for pulping. The other major source is from the residuals from sawmill, veneer, and lumber plants. These solid wood production plants produce millions of ton...

Activated charcoal can be obtained in many ways. The most promising terms of resource saving and economic benefits is the method obtaining activated carbon from organic waste by slow conductive pyrolysis. As a result such thermochemical conversion, biochar volatile products - condensable non-condensable are formed, which used as fuel for operation pyrolysis reactors. Modeling thermal decomposit...
