0 a process in which substances are changed chemically by high temperatures:
The heating process, known as pyrolysis, fused the metal particles together.
Then the chips are fed into the pyrolysis process to separate the carbon black and the oil component.
The pyrolysis plant would be used to recycle tyres by shredding them and then breaking down the materials through high heat.
The rest of the crushed sample was sub-sampled for clay-mineral, micropalaeontological, stable-isotope, pyrolysis and thermal-maturity analysis.
Even if functional groups of analogues have been determined using spectroscopy and pyrolysis, its building molecules are especially difficult to identify.
Typically, some to all of the intracrystalline organic matter may be outside of the analytical window afforded by routine crushing and extraction, or thermal extraction/pyrolysis.
However, it should be noted that some of the intracrystalline organic matter would probably still be present as stearic acid and on pyrolysis could produce n-alkanes that would readily volatilize.
Comparisons of the post-fire germination responses of seed banks that differed genetically in their ability to respond to the pyrolysis signals would resolve the debate once and for all.
