Pyrolysis (medicine)


pyrolysis


The thermal decomposition of biomass at high temperatures (greater than 400> F, or 200> C) in the absence of air. The end product of pyrolysis is a mixture of solids (char), liquids (oxygenated oils), and gases (methane, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide) with proportions determined by operating temperature, pressure, oxygen content, and other conditions.
