Abstract

This study aims to identify, categorize, evaluate, and prioritize the key factors influencing the pyrolysis process using a spherical fuzzy step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SF-SWARA). A total of twenty-seven factors are analyzed and organized into five main categories: “raw material properties”, “process conditions and kinetics”, “reactor design and configuration”, “catalysts and additives”, and “product collection and post-processing”. SF-SWARA is applied to determine the relative importance of each factor. Based on the analysis, the five most critical factors affecting pyrolysis performance are identified as “chemical composition” (6.12 %), “temperature control and heat profile” (5.52 %), “reactor type, geometry, and scalability” (4.64 %), “moisture content and pre-treatments” (4.63 %), and “heat transfer, insulation, and reactor thermal efficiency” (4.51 %). This study provides valuable insights to enhance pyrolysis performance, support informed decision-making, and guide future research and industrial applications.

采用球形模糊SWARA方法对影响热解过程的因素进行识别和排序

本研究旨在利用球形模糊逐步权重评价比分析法（SF-SWARA）对影响热解过程的关键因素进行识别、分类、评价和排序。共分析了27个因素，并将其分为五大类：“原材料性质”、“工艺条件和动力学”、“反应器设计和配置”、“催化剂和添加剂”以及“产品收集和后处理”。应用SF-SWARA来确定每个因素的相对重要性。基于分析，确定了影响热解性能的五个最关键因素：“化学成分”（6.12%）、“温度控制和热分布”（5.52%）、“反应器类型、几何形状和可扩展性”（4.64%）、“水分含量和预处理”（4.63%）和“传热、隔热和反应器热效率”（4.51%）。该研究为提高热解性能、支持明智决策以及指导未来的研究和工业应用提供了有价值的见解。

期刊介绍： Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials. The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy. Key areas covered by the journal: • Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation. • Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal. • Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes • Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation • Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
