This work fashioned the conventional pyrolysis by introducing a microwave process to assess the feasibility of lemon myrtle waste (LMW) to produce biochar, bio-oil and biogas in the presence of catalyst. Microwave assisted pyrolysis (MAP) of LMW was established as a control before introducing five d...
