What is Pyrolysis of Biomass?- Materials Conversion Process
Biomass pyrolysis process is a chemical decomposition process, which can be achieved in a biochar machine. This technology operates by heating biomass in a low-oxygen environment, causing its components to break down into solids, gases, and liquids. The material conversion process is as follows:





Raw Material: Biomass
Biomass is organic matter derived from plants. It is the most abundant renewable carbon source on Earth. Main components of biomass include:
Cellulose: A complex polysaccharide in plant cell walls that provides structural support.
Hemicellulose: A polysaccharide present in plant cell walls, more easily degraded than cellulose.
Lignin: The most rigid structural material in plants, particularly abundant in wood.
Pyrolysis Process
Pyrolysis achieves biomass recovery through two essential core conditions:
Conditions 1: High Temperature Promote the release of volatile organic compounds (e.g., water, alcohols) in biomass, mainly containing hydrogen and oxygen.
Conditions 2: Anaerobic or Low-Oxygen This prevents carbon combustion into carbon dioxide (CO₂). Also, it allows most of the carbon to remain in a solid form, ultimately forming biochar.
End Product: Biochar
Biochar is the stable, carbon-rich solid residue left after biomass pyrolysis process. Biochar offers various environmental and agricultural benefits. This is due to the unique properties of biochar:
Porous Structure: This offers biochar high specific surface area and great adsorption capacity. It can store water and nutrients.
High Stability: Biochar’s aromatized carbon structure gives it strong chemical stability. This allows itto last for hundreds of years in soil.

Available Biomass Sources for Pyrolysis

Wood Waste
tree waste from logging, pruning, etc.
wood chips, sawdust, shavings

Food Processing Waste
Food shells like coconut shells, palm shells
Fruit residues like sugarcane bagasse, EFB

Crop Waste
Various agricultural straws/stalks, rice husks, etc.
Suitable biomass feedstock should follow the following criteria:
Biomass with poor flowability can clog the hopper during feeding. For example, palm fibers have poor flowability and need to be granulated before pyrolysis.
Oversized materials can jam the feed screw, while overly thin materials tend to turn into powder. Please keep the biomass size at 5-20mm for smooth feeding.
Excessive powder in raw materials can clog pipelines and affect biochar quality. (Harder materials, such as coconut shells, are recommended.)
Applications of Biochar from Biomass Pyrolysis Plant
In Carbon Removal Field

Decarbonized Agriculture
Carbon Sequestration: Biochar locks carbon in the soil for long periods, helping to reduce atmospheric CO2 and generating carbon credits.
Soil Improvement: It improves soil structure, water retention, pH value and nutrient content, boosting crop yields.

Decarbonized Metal Smelting
Metal Oxides Reduction Agent: Biochar helps convert metal ores into pure metals by capturing oxygen.
Low-emission Fuel: Using biochar instead of fossil fuels in smelting reduces carbon emissions.

Decarbonized Animal Husbandry
Feed Additive: Adding biochar to animal feed has been shown to influence the gut microbiome, and improve the livestock digestive system, thus reducing enteric methane production in ruminants.
Gas Adsorbent: Biochar itself possesses strong adsorption properties, enabling it to capture and absorb methane emitted by livestock to air.

Decarbonized Construction Industry
Biochar is highly porous, which gives it excellent thermal insulation properties. When incorporated into building materials like concrete, plaster, or insulation boards, it can enhance the thermal efficiency of buildings. This can result in a significant reduction in energy consumption for heating and cooling, further lowering a building’s overall carbon footprint.

How to Pyrolysis Biomass into Biochar?
01 Drying and Crushing: Biomass Pre-processing
02 Pyrolysis: Material Conversion
After preheating the biomass pyrolysis reactor, a screw belt conveyor feeds the biomass into the reactor.
At high temperatures (380℃–450℃), the internal moisture of the biomass is removed, and some organic matter volatilizes.
Finally, biochar, a carbonaceous material with a stable structure forms. After pyrolysis reaction, the water-cooled slag extractor discharges biochar from the reactor.
