6. Pyrolysis processes

Waste pyrolysis, also referred to as thermolysis, consists of an endothermic thermal treatment (ΔH > 0), at moderate temperature, during which the organic fraction of the waste is decomposed, in the absence of air or in a reducing atmosphere (O ₂ < 2%), to provide a gas phase and a solid phase : $\underset{}{(C, H, O, N, H_{2} O, inertes) \to (C, inertes)}$
