Abstract
Pyrolysis is a reaction common to all thermochemical conversion reactions of biomass. When conducted under reduced pressure conditions, the thermal decomposition reactions are of fundamental interest since this permits one to get an insight into the primary chemical reactions which occur during the initial breakdown of the biomass macromolecules.
