Pyrolysis or thermal decomposition has as an objective the disintegration and depolymerization of lignocellulosics through the action of heat .... slow pyrolysis under reduced pressure: the objective is the separation of the fractions initially depolymerized in order to limit their thermal degradation. We can therefore obtain the primary products of the degradation. 1, record 2, English, - slow%20pyrolysis%20under%20reduced%20pressure

La pyrolyse ou décomposition thermique a comme objectif la désagrégation et la dépolymérisation des matières lignocellulosiques par action de la chaleur. Dans cette approche, les polymères constitutifs sont fortement altérés, voire détruits, et leur caractère polymérique est perdu.(...) la pyrolyse en présence de solvants(i. e. liquéfaction), où les effets de solvatation permettent aussi de limiter la décomposition secondaire des produits initialement formés par dépolymérisation thermique.
