| Abstract: |
| The global increase in human population and industrialization has created a rising demand for energy, which has brought about numerous challenges in the energy sector. These challenges include environmental pollution, depletion of fossil fuel resources, and inadequate electricity supply. Pyrolysis, a process that converts biomass into valuable products, presents opportunities to address some of these challenges. Extensive research has been conducted to better understand the pyrolysis reaction mechanism and optimize the production of high-quality products, particularly bio-oil. In addition, researchers have explored various applications for pyrolysis products. To enhance the physical and chemical properties of the products, optimization methods for the biomass pyrolysis process have been investigated. Studies have demonstrated that co-pyrolysis of biomass with other materials not only improves the properties of the resulting products but also facilitates waste recycling. Consequently, recent progress in co-pyrolysis with different materials such as coal, plastic, rubber, and sludge is discussed in this review. The findings of these studies indicate that biomass pyrolysis combined with waste plastics yields more favorable results compared to biomass pyrolysis alone. This approach offers a simple and effective solution to enhance energy security, waste management practices, and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. |
