Question

Are thermolysis and pyrolysis the same ? If not , then what is the difference between thermolysis and pyrolysis ?

Answer 1

Answer:

pyrolysis is the thermal process where the organic matter in sludge is broken down in an environment lacking in air compared to the stoichiometry; thermolysis is the same process when it takes place in the absence of any exogenous oxygen.

Answer 2

Answer:

Thermolysis is chemical decomposition by heating. If a reaction is endothermic, heat is required for the reaction to proceed. ... The term pyrolysis is often used in place of thermolysis when organic compounds are decomposed at high temperature.
