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 use this knowledge for lab-scale reactor design, operating parameters, and instrumentation. It also includes safety protocols, environmental management, data analysis, mass balances, and reporting techniques to ensure your findings are solid, comparable, and ready for publication.
