  2. Pyrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis

    Pyrolysis has many applications in food preparation. [23] Caramelization is the pyrolysis of sugars in food (often after the sugars have been produced by the breakdown of polysaccharides). The food goes brown and changes flavor. The distinctive flavors are used in many dishes; for instance, caramelized onion is used in French onion soup.

  3. Pyrolysis oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis_oil

    Pyrolysis oil, sometimes also known as biocrude or bio-oil, is a synthetic fuel with few industrial application and under investigation as substitute for petroleum.It is obtained by heating dried biomass without oxygen in a reactor at a temperature of about 500 °C (900 °F) with subsequent cooling, separation from the aqueous phase and other processes.

  4. Hydrothermal liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_liquefaction

    As early as the 1920s, the concept of using hot water and alkali catalysts to produce oil out of biomass was proposed. [6] In 1939, U.S. patent 2,177,557, [7] described a two-stage process in which a mixture of water, wood chips, and calcium hydroxide is heated in the first stage at temperatures in a range of 220 to 360 °C (428 to 680 °F), with the pressure "higher than that of saturated ...

  5. Marine biogenic calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_biogenic_calcification

    The source of the majority of inorganic calcium present in the ocean is due to riverine deposition, though volcanic activity interacting with seawater does provide some calcium as well. The distribution of calcium sources described above is the case for both the present day oceanic calcium budget, and the historical budget over the last 25 ...

  6. Biomass to liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_to_liquid

    Catalytic fast pyrolysis is a fast process in which the cellulose is broken down to a liquid biofuel. In this approach the cellulose is heated to 500 degrees Celsius in less than one second in a chamber to break apart the molecules. The catalyst forms chemical reactions that remove oxygen bonds and form carbon rings

  7. Dry distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_distillation

    Dry distillation is the heating of solid materials to produce gaseous products (which may condense into liquids or solids). The method may involve pyrolysis or thermolysis, or it may not (for instance, a simple mixture of ice and glass could be separated without breaking any chemical bonds, but organic matter contains a greater diversity of molecules, some of which are likely to break).

  8. Liquid smoke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_smoke

    Liquid smoke is a water-soluble yellow to red liquid [1] used as a flavoring as a substitute for cooking with wood smoke while retaining a similar flavor. It can be used to flavor any meat or vegetable. It is available as pure condensed smoke from various types of wood, and as derivative formulas containing additives.

  9. Pyrolysis GC/MS chromatogram of mahogany wood analyzed with OpenChrom. Pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry is a method of chemical analysis in which the sample is heated to decomposition to produce smaller molecules that are separated by gas chromatography and detected using mass spectrometry.
