Some of the smell of the frankincense smoke is due to the products of pyrolysis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Using a method called pyrolysis, the plant heats up the diapers without oxygen.
From the businessweek.com
Pyrolysis is also used to covert biomass into fuels such as biochar and syngas.
From the huffingtonpost.com
A derivative of solid biofuel is biochar, which is produced by biomass pyrolysis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Pyrolysis conversion plants are the only infrastructure we need to build out.
From the guardian.co.uk
Pyrolysis of solid waste converts the material into solid, liquid and gas products.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The best tar came from pine, thus pinewoods were cut down for tar pyrolysis.

More examples
  • Transformation of a substance produced by the action of heat
  • (pyrolytic) resulting from pyrolysis
  • Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen (or any halogen). It involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase, and is irreversible. The word is coined from the Greek-derived elements pyro "fire" and lysis "separating".
  • The temperature (around 465F/240C) at which chemical changes in roasting coffee beans cause them to emit their own heat, thus raising the temperature of the roasting chamber.
  • Process of converting a solid substance to combustible fumes by raising its temperature. See also vaporization of liquids.
  • Chemical decomposition of a substance by heat in the absence of oxygen, resulting in various hydrocarbon gases and carbon-like residue.
  • Decomposition of a chemical by extreme heat.
  • The Pyrolysis cracking vegetable oil method uses heat and pressure to change the nature of vegetable oil. The Pyrolysis refining process does produce reduced viscosity oil and an acceptable diesel fuel replacement.
  • A series of rapid chemical reactions that occurs during the roasting process, causing changes in green beans because of the application of heat.
