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 properties, then use them for lab-scale reactor design, operating conditions, and instrumentation. It also includes safety measures, environmental controls, data analysis, mass balances, and reporting for robust, comparable, publication-ready results.
