In recent years, the effective conversion of organic wastes into valuable products has been a focus and difficulty in sustainable energy and environmental management. Organic wastes come from a wide range of sources, and industrial and agricultural sources are the main sources of organic waste in China, which can be controlled by microwave pyrolysis technology. In microwave pyrolysis treatment, catalysts have been the key material, microwave absorber, and catalyst of the research hotspot in recent years. This paper summarises the typical influencing parameters of microwave pyrolysis (including microwave power, pyrolysis temperature and microwave absorber), and also summarises the various catalysts applied in microwave pyrolysis, and looks forward to the potential application prospect of pyrolysis products, and the future development direction.
