| Description |
Demand for energy and its resources, is increasing every day due to the rapid outgrowth of
population and urbanization. As the major conventional energy resources'like coal, petroleum and
natural gas are at the verge of getting extinct, biomass can be considered as one of the promising
environment friendly renewable energy options. Different thermo-chemical conversion processes that
include combustion, gasification, liquefaction, hydrogenation and pyrolysis, hav~ been used to
convert the biomass into various energy products.
Although pyrolysis is still under developing stage but during current energy scenario, pyrolysis has
received special attention as it can convert biomass directly into solid, liquid and gaseous products by
thermal decomposition of biomass in absence of oxygen. In this review article, the focus has been
made on pyrolysis while other conventional processes have been discussed in brief. For having better
insight, various types of pyrolysis processes have been discussed in detail including slow, fast, flash
and catalytic pyrolysis processes. Besides biomass resources and constituents, the composition and
uses of pyrolysis products have been discussed in detail.
This review article aim to focus on various operational parameters, viz. temperature and particle
size of biomass and product yields using various types of biomasses.
