Pyrolysis of Bio-waste and Wear of its reinforced polymer composites. Pyrolysis of Biomass

      Аннотация: Biomass is widely being used as an alternative source of energy and various studies have also been done in order to use the same as precursor for development of several different end-products due to growing concerns of declining fossil fuel reserves and increasing energy demand. Generation of large volumes of biomass residue as well as bio-wastes occur from various economic activities. Canonization or pyrolysis breaks down a substance into simpler compounds and elements by heating in the absence of oxygen. It converts an organic substance into carbon containing residue where several reactions occur simultaneously and the usual products of pyrolysis may be bio-char, tar or pyro-ligneous liquor and gases; pyrolysis also leads to the formation of pyrogenic carbon. As per a survey, a coconut farm producing 10,000 nuts per year has the potential of generating 3,600 kg of husks and 2,300 kg of coco peat/pith. It has been extensively used as a soil conditioner and has also the potential to serve as a low-cost adsorbent. Biomass under high temperature and pressure soften and act as thermoplastic binding materials. Thus pyrolysis of coco peat we can get high valued product/utilization.
