JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL AND APPLIED PYROLYSIS

《分析与应用热分解杂志》（JAAP）致力于发表有关热分解过程创新应用、与热分解反应有关的产物的表征以及反应机理研究的论文。JAAP认为，手稿应该在这些主题上有重大进展。在求职信中必须令人满意地论证这种新颖性。如果给编辑的一份手稿附有附信，而没有说明新颖性，则很可能会在未经审查的情况下被拒绝。更具体地说，日记的范围包括：化学物质和材料的基本热解研究，包括：-热分解反应的实验研究，如化学机理和动力学研究；这包括制备新化合物的热分解方法和高温反应机理；-对反应机理、动力学和热力学的计算和理论研究是可以接受的，前提是它们与实验数据直接相关，无论是新的还是以前出版的，但它们必须在论文中充分描述；-热解数据的计算处理，如高级模式识别、主成分分析等多元分析。分析性热解，即通过热诱导降解反应在惰性气氛中表征材料；-通过揭示热分解反应和化学分解反应来探索材料的化学成分和结构，从而得到通过化学和光谱方法完全识别的产品；-分析热分解在环境、生物、医学、法医、文化遗产、食品、地球化学、聚合物和材料科学中的应用；-使用新仪器和新的分析方法，利用热分解反应或分解热分解产物的化学成分。应用热分解处理热分解过程的发展，用于从化石或可再生原料或废物中生产有价值的化学品和/或能源载体（气体、液体、固体或电力）和/或材料、材料的回收和有毒物质的处置。手稿必须讨论热解条件与产品特性之间的关系。本主题包括：-各种原料（化石燃料、生物质、废弃物、聚合物等）及不同原料的共加工；-各种热过程（慢速和快速热分解、高温分解、碳化、高压热分解、催化热分解、脱氧、加氢热分解、溶剂液化）。只有当手稿的主要焦点是热分解过程时，热分解过程与其他类型的处理（机械、生物或化学）或材料特性的组合才在期刊的范围内。研究了不同的热分解条件，采用热分解反应器和产品净化相结合的综合工艺是可行的。热分解反应器或过程的计算模型应与新的或以前发布的实验数据相关，但本文必须对这些数据进行充分的描述。应彻底描述热解条件（固体和蒸汽的停留时间、温度分布等）。热解产物必须具有化学特征。催化剂应在反应前进行物理和化学性质的表征，并在可行的情况下，对反应后的催化剂进行分析也是可取的。虽然这并非总是可能的，但至少应进行定性评估。用常规方法研究一种新原料或材料的热分解，但没有新的热分解过程的发展，这还不足以被日本航空航天局所考虑。评论文章由编辑邀请，但也可以书面形式提交给评论编辑。评论文章的主题应该足够广泛，以吸引广大读者。讨论应该简洁，但要充分。在某些情况下，更详细的讨论可能是适当的。预计评论应该是关键的，而不仅仅是已发布数据的目录。它们应该包括该主题最重要的最新进展，而科学意义较低的论文应该被给予非常有限的覆盖。超出JAAP范围该杂志不考虑基于以下内容的研究：-活性炭的活化及活性炭的表征；-热分析、未用化学和光谱法表征热解产物的质量产率；-热分解产物的表征和应用，除非与了解热分解过程和条件的影响/细节有明确的关联/目的；-没有实验数据补充或验证的理论研究、动力学模型等；-燃烧、气化或焚烧，除非与热解和氧化反应之间的相互作用特别相关。

The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.More specifically, the Scope of the Journal includes:Fundamental pyrolysis research on chemical substances and materials comprising: - experimental studies of pyrolysis reactions such as chemical mechanism and kinetic investigations; this includes preparative pyrolysis methods for the synthesis of novel compounds and mechanisms of high temperature reactions;- computational and theoretical studies of reaction mechanism, kinetics, and thermodynamics are acceptable, provided they are directly related to experimental data, either new or previously published, but they must be described adequately in the paper;- computational processing of pyrolysis data, such as advanced pattern recognition and principal component analysis and other multivariate analyses.Analytical pyrolysis, i.e. the characterization of a material in inert atmosphere by thermally induced degradation reactions;- exploring chemical composition and structure of materials by revealing thermal and chemical decomposition reactions leading to products fully identified by chemical and spectroscopic methods;- applications of analytical pyrolysis in environmental, biological, medical, forensic, cultural heritage, food, geochemical, polymer, and materials science;- new instrumentation and new analytical methods using pyrolysis reactions or to unravel the chemical composition of pyrolysis products.Applied pyrolysis dealing with the development of pyrolysis processes for producing valuable chemicals and/or energy carriers (gas, liquid, solid or electricity) and/or materials from fossil or renewable feedstock or waste, the recycling of materials, and the disposal of toxic substances. The manuscript must discuss the relationships between pyrolysis conditions and product characteristics. This topic includes:- various feedstock (fossil fuels, biomass, wastes, polymers, etc.) and the co-processing of different feedstock;- various thermal processes (slow and fast pyrolysis, torrefaction, carbonization, high pressure pyrolysis, catalytic pyrolysis, deoxygenation, hydropyrolysis, solvent liquefaction).The combination of a pyrolysis process with other types of treatment (mechanical, biological, or chemical) or materials characterization is within the scope of the journal only if the main focus of the manuscript is the pyrolysis process. Integrated processes combining pyrolysis reactors and products purification are welcome, if different pyrolysis conditions are studied. The computational modeling of pyrolysis reactors or processes should be related to experimental data, either new or previously published, but they must be described adequately in the paper.The pyrolysis conditions should be described thoroughly (residence times of solid and vapors, temperature distributions, etc.). The pyrolysis products must be chemically characterized. Catalysts should be physically and chemically characterized before reaction, and, when feasible analysis of catalysts after reaction is also desirable. While this may not always be possible, at least qualitative assessments should be made.The investigation of pyrolysis of a new feedstock or material with conventional methods, but without new development of the pyrolysis process is not sufficiently novel to be considered by JAAP.Review articles are invited by the Editors but may also be proposed in writing to the Review Editor. The subject of review articles should be broad enough to appeal to a wide range of readers. Discussion should be concise, but adequate. More detailed discussion may be appropriate in some cases. It is expected that reviews should be critical rather than just catalogs of published data. They should include the most important, recent advances in the topic, whereas papers of low scientific significance should be given very limited coverage.Out of the scope of JAAPThe Journal does not consider studies based on:- the activation of carbons and characterization of activated carbons;- thermal analysis, mass yields without characterization of the pyrolysis products by chemical and spectroscopic methods;- characterization and application of pyrolysis products, unless clearly related to/aimed at understanding the influence/details of pyrolysis processes and conditions;- theoretical studies, kinetic modelling etc. which are not complemented with or validated by experimental data- combustion, gasification or incineration unless specifically related to the interplay between pyrolysis and oxidation reactions.
