The Pyrolysis Of Carbon Compounds is a monograph written by Charles Dewitt Hurd and published by the American Chemical Society as part of their Monograph Series, No. 50. This book focuses on the process of pyrolysis, which is the decomposition of organic materials through heat in the absence of oxygen. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the chemistry and physics involved in pyrolysis, including the mechanisms of decomposition and the formation of various products such as gases, liquids, and solids. The book also covers the practical applications of pyrolysis, including its use in the production of fuels, chemicals, and other materials. Overall, this monograph is a valuable resource for chemists, engineers, and researchers interested in the science of pyrolysis and its potential applications in industry.
