4. Waste pyrolysis process

As the air factor λA decreases (0 < λA < 1), down to O 2 contents < 1%, the waste's external atmosphere, lacking oxygen, becomes reductive. An imposed heating process (convection or radiation) then causes the waste to dry out, followed by the "distillation" of its volatile matter, until the material is transformed into fixed carbon, the absence of oxygen no longer allowing combustion of the products of the decomposition reaction....
