| Summary: | Environmental pollution is the major problem of the modern society associated with rapid urbanization and industrialization. The thermal technologies such as pyrolysis have been developed for waste reduction and environmental protection. Pyrolysis processes are optimized for fuels (liquid, gases, and char) production by thermal degradation of solid waste, in the absence of air. This study involved a brief review of waste pyrolysis potential. The pyrolysis as a thermal technology is used at commercial scale, predominately in Europe and Japan. The focus of this paper is on the types of pyrolysis technologies which include amounts and products type, reactor design, and economics. Advantages and disadvantages of pyrolysis are also discussed and compared with incineration as a very similar thermal process. |
