Examples

• The pyrolyzates from the wood sample were analyzed using gas chromatography.
• Different temperatures produce different pyrolyzates when organic compounds are heated.
• Industrial processes often capture and utilize pyrolyzates as valuable chemical feedstocks.
• The researchers identified several aromatic pyrolyzates in the combustion chamber.
• Pyrolyzates from plastic waste can be converted into useful fuels and chemicals.
