L'ensemble des gaz, goudrons et vapeur d'eau dégagés au cours de la pyrolyse est désigné sous le nom de matières volatiles. [...] la proportion des matières volatiles extraites d'un charbon peut être regardée comme une propriété caractéristique de ce charbon. Le dégagement des matières volatiles s'accompagne de modifications souvent profondes de l'aspect et de la structure de la matière solide. 1, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9gagement%20des%20mati%C3%A8res%20volatiles

Conventional pyrolysis is typically characterized by a slow feedstock heating rate(less than 2 °C/s), low temperatures(less than 500 °C) and relatively long gas and solids residence times(greater than 5 s for the gas; solids residence times can be minutes, hours or days in duration). Tar and char are the primary products due to slow devolatilization of the feedstock, and the secondary coking and polymerization(recombination) reactions which are allowed to occur in the reactor after primary pyrolysis has taken place. 3, record 4, English, - conventional%20pyrolysis
