Microwave assisted flash pyrolysis system and method using the same

A microwave-assisted flash pyrolysis system, comprising:

• at least one microwave generator connected to a chamber;
• wherein the chamber comprises:
• at least one feedstock inlet, at least one first baffle plate, a microwave-transparent rotating window, and at least one microwave inlet, at least one wet gas outlet, and at least one dry-end product outlet;
• wherein the feedstock inlet for introducing feedstocks to the microwave-transparent rotating window is disposed over the microwave-transparent rotating window and in front of the first baffle plate;
• wherein the first baffle plate is used for leveling out the feedstocks on the microwave-transparent rotating window and separating the chamber with at least one pyrolysis sector in which flash pyrolysis is to take place;
• wherein the first baffle plate is disposed over the microwave-transparent rotating window, and a gap between the first baffle plate and the microwave-transparent rotating window is adjustable and used for determining the thickness of input feedstocks;
• wherein the microwave-transparent rotating window carries the input feedstocks through the gap and into the at least one pyrolysis sector;
• wherein the at least one pyrolysis sector is disposed over the microwave inlet;
• wherein the microwave inlet is connected to the microwave generator for introducing microwave energy upward into the at least one pyrolysis sector that is disposed over the microwave-transparent rotating window and limiting the microwave energy between the first baffle plate and the dry-end product outlet;
• wherein the wet gas outlet is connected to a gas collection unit for collecting wet gas from the at least one pyrolysis sector, and the wet gas outlet is disposed over the microwave-transparent rotating window;
• and
• wherein the dry-end product outlet is connected to the chamber for collecting pyrolyzed dry-end products from the microwave-transparent rotating window.
