PIRÓLISIS ANALÍTICA (PY-GC/MS)
Método degradativo que transforma compuestos complejos no volátiles en una mezcla de fragmentos volátiles por descomposición térmica en ausencia de oxígeno. Se realiza habitualmente a temperaturas de entre 400ºC y 800ºC y en condiciones de atmósfera inerte.
La separación e identificación de los productos de descomposición se realiza mediante cromatografía gaseosa (GC) y espectrometría de masas (MS), utilizando igualmente un gas inerte como transportador de los productos de la pirólisis.

PIRÓLISIS ANALÍTICA (PY-GC/MS)
En la pirólisis, se producen roturas de los enlaces por acción del calor.
Cuando la energía aplicada en las moléculas supera la energía de enlaces específicos se produce la disociación de éstos de forma predecible y reproducible.
Se puede obtener información en relación a la molécula original a través del análisis de los productos de degradación formados.

A) Fundamental and practical research on Agricultural issues:
1.- Assessment of soil organic matter (SOM) molecular characteristics and the impact of
different soil use and management. (POSTER: OTR-P25)
2.- Monitoring composition and fate of crop residues and composted materials applied to
agricultural lands.
3.- Direct detection of agrochemicals i.e. pesticides or Si bearing coating/co-adjuvant agents.
B) Fundamental and practical research on Environmental issues:
4.- Monitoring the effects of wildfires on the SOM status
5.- Analysis of complex molecular lipids, black carbon (BC) and recalcitrant C-forms of interest
in Molecular Palaeobiogeochemistry
6.- Potential of pyrolysis techniques in directly detecting compounds i.e. pollutants or markers,
in solid samples (soils, sediments, bacterial mats plant/animal tissues) (POSTER: MAM-P37)
