Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis

Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis
The international Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis is devoted to the publication of qualitative and quantitative results relating to:
- Controlled pyrolysis (thermal degradation) of chemical materials, including synthetic and natural macromolecules as well as lower molecular weight chemicals;
- Fundamental studies of pyrolysis processes by chemical, physical and physicochemical methods:
- Studies of pyrolysis reaction kinetics, energetics, and mechanisms;
- Environmental, geochemical, biological, medical, and forensic applications of analytical pyrolysis;
- Studies in high temperature chemistry, including chemical vapor deposition;
- Pyrolysis investigations of energy related problems, including the characterization of fossil/synthetic fuels and coal extraction/liquefaction products;
- Technical developments and new instrumentation for pyrolysis techniques in combination with chromatographic or spectroscopic methods;
- Automation, optimization and standardization of pyrolysis techniques;
- Computer handling and processing of pyrolysis data, including library filing and retrieval techniques, and computer matching and advanced pattern recognition techniques;
- Analytical characterization of materials by alternative means of thermally assisted degradation, for example, by ozonolysis, hydrolysis, derivatization, or enzymatic cleavage ETC...
