What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to designing and conducting reliable biomass pyrolysis experiments. You'll explore reaction mechanisms, product formation, and biomass characteristics, then apply this knowledge to lab-scale reactor design, operating parameters, and instrumentation. It also covers safety protocols, environmental management, data analysis, mass balances, and effective reporting to ensure your results are solid, comparable, and ready for publication.
