What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to designing and conducting reliable biomass pyrolysis experiments. You will study 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 to ensure robust, comparable, and publication-ready results.
