A Compact, Efficient Pyrolysis/Oxidation System for Solid Waste Resource Recovery in Space, 2008 SBIR Phase II
Pyrolysis processing can be used in near term missions for volume reduction, water recovery (drying), stabilization, and enhanced water and oxygen recovery through thermochemical reactions. For longer term missions, the added benefits include production of fuel, multi-purpose carbon, and reactants for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU).
