Pyrolysis can be slow and fast.
Rapid pyrolysis (BP) - pyrolysis in which heat energy is supplied to the source material at a high speed and without access to oxygen
.
If slow pyrolysis is similar (conditionally) to the process of bringing water to a boil,
then fast pyrolysis is conditionally similar to the process of getting a drop of water into a hot oil ("explosive boiling»)
The distinctive features of rapid pyrolysis are:
 |
higher process performance; |
|
|
the relative "cleanliness" of the output products of pyrolysis, due to the lack of process bertiniani ("blending»); |
|
|
minimum energy consumption of the process, compared to slow pyrolysis; |
|
|
the process is accompanied by the release of thermal energy (exothermic reactions are superior to endothermic). |
