Production of syngas from controlled microwave-assisted pyrolysis of crude glycerol

Conversion of crude glycerol into synthesis gas was studied by using controlled microwave-assisted pyrolysis method. Pyrolysis of crude glycerol in the presence of carbonaceous catalyst was performed in a fixed bed reactor under oxygen-deficient environment using a domestic microwave. The effects of...
