What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to designing and conducting reliable biomass pyrolysis experiments. You will explore reaction mechanisms, product formation, and biomass characteristics, then use this knowledge for lab-scale reactor design, operating parameters, and instrumentation. It also addresses safety measures, environmental management, data analysis, mass balances, and effective reporting to ensure robust, comparable, and publication-quality results.
