Eucalyptus urophylla
wood and three residues of the mechanical processing of
Eucalyptus
spp wood (chips, peels and shaving wood) were carbonized under maximum temperatures of 400 °C and 600 °C. The
yield in charcoal and carbon, besides the content of condensed gases, non-condensed gases, volatile materials,
ash and fixed carbon were estimated. The chips, when submitted to the pyrolysis in the maximum temperature
of 600 °C, resulted in the best energetic properties, in comparison to the other residues of the mechanical
processing of the eucalypt wood (
Eucalyptus spp) and
Eucalyptus urophylla log.
