Microwave-Assisted Pyrolysis and Co-Pyrolysis: Oil, Char, and Gases is an in-depth exploration of the new field of microwave-assisted Pyrolysis. MW pyrolysis makes it possible to extract oil, char, and gases from biomass, waste, and other organic components. Compared to traditional pyrolysis processes, microwave-assisted Pyrolysis has many advantages, which are discussed in depth in this paper. The article covers various aspects of microwave-assisted Pyrolysis, including Fundamentals of Pyrolysis, Thermal Decomposition Mechanisms, Factors Affecting Pyrolysis Reactions, Product Distribution and Yield, Synergistic Effects, and Process Parameters Optimization. It also looks into the co-pyrolysis method, which uses numerous feedstocks to create many value products simultaneously through simultaneous Pyrolysis. This paper is useful for academics, engineers, and professionals in biomass conversion and renewable energy since the writers explore co-pyrolysis's synergistic effects and prospective applications. With its comprehensive coverage and in-depth analysis, Microwave-Assisted Pyrolysis and Co-Pyrolysis: Oil, Char, and Gases offers a unique perspective on the application of microwave technology in pyrolysis processes. It provides readers with a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles, experimental techniques, and potential applications of MW-assisted Pyrolysis and co-pyrolysis.
