The replacement of inert gas by CO2 in pyrolysis has attracted attention due to its positive effects on end products. The reactive nature of CO2 at higher temperatures improves gas production and reduces char yield. However, the impact of CO2 on biochar production and properties in slow pyrolysis of organic wastes is not well-understood. This review aims to investigate the effect of CO2 atmosphere on slow pyrolysis performance and compare it with an inert atmosphere, focusing on biochar yield and properties for environmental and agricultural applications.
The replacement of inert gas by CO2 in pyrolysis has piqued a great deal of interest in recent years due to its numerous positive effects on end products. The reactive nature of CO2 at higher pyrolysis temperatures (above 700 degrees C) during pyrolysis improves pyrolytic gas production (H2, CO, and CH4) by increasing thermal cracking of tar, inhibiting secondary char formation, and enhancing char gasification, thereby reducing char yield. The existing review articles focus on the impact of CO2 on tar and gaseous products during pyrolysis, with little information on its impact on biochar production and properties via slow pyrolysis of various organic wastes. Therefore, it is worthwhile to investigate the effect of CO2 on biochar production during slow pyrolysis for in-dustrial purposes, because CO2 from flue gas can be used as the pyrolysis gas environment, which can ultimately improve biochar production in terms of economic viability, environmental impact, and modified properties. The goal of this review is to conduct a thorough investigation of the effect of CO2 atmosphere on slow pyrolysis performance (400-700 degrees C), with a particular emphasis on biochar yield and properties for environmental and agricultural applications in comparison to inert atmosphere by highlighting the existing challenges and future opportunities.
