English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Engineering

  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
  • Waste Management
DEF

The chemical decomposition of a substance by heat.

OBS

It is an important process in chemical manufacture, such as the thermal cracking of hydrocarbons in the petroleum industry.

OBS

Pyrolysis, also termed thermolysis(Greek : pur=fire; thermos=warm; luo=loosen), is a process of chemical and thermal decomposition, generally leading to smaller molecules. Semantically, the term thermolysis is more appropriate than pyrolysis, since fire implies the presence of oxygen and hence of reactive and oxygen-bearing intermediates. In most pyrolysis processes, however, air is excluded, for reasons of safety, product quality, and yield.
