Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. Pyrolysis typically occurs under pressure and at operating temperatures about 430 Â°C (800 Â°F). Pyrolysis is a special case of thermolysis, and is most commonly used for organic materials, being, therefore, one of the processes involved in charring. In general, pyrolysis of organic substances produces gas and liquid products and leaves a solid residue richer in carbon content. Extreme pyrolysis, which leaves mostly carbon as the residue, is called carbonization.
Glycolysis is the lysing or cutting of glucose to release energy. The six carbon sugar, glucose, is cut in half and converted into two three carbon sugars called pyruvate. What happens next depends on the presence or absence of oxygen.
