Currently, scientific researches and engineering developments in the field of physical-chemical processing of organic raw materials, in particular, aimed on production of so-called renewable liquid and gaseous fuels, are becoming increasingly important. One of the materials that recently attracted high research interest from the point of view of the great variety of its practical applications is a peat [1]. There are various methods of the peat processing; however, the most promising is a high-temperature microwave pyrolysis. The main advantages of microwave pyrolysis over traditional thermal heating systems include the following: high processing efficiency, volume character and high thermal efficiency (up to 90 95%) of microwave heating, increase in the speed of chemical and physical-chemical reactions under the action of microwave radiation, possibility to achieve high temperatures and deep processing of biomaterial, high environmental safety, etc. The installation for the high-temperature peat destruction under the action of microwave radiation was developed at the IAP RAS based on industrial 2.45 GHz / 1 kW magnetron (Fig. 1). In the recent series of experiments, optimization of the electrodynamic system transportating radiation from the magnetron into the interaction vessel (reactor) was carried out. To reduce thermal loads on the barrier window an additional cooled waveguide section was installed for condensation of the resins products of the processing. Tuning waweguide elements were added to keep high transmission of the radiation into the reactor during radical change of the absorption capacity of peat in the process of high temperature treatment [2]. The first series of experiments on this installation was carried out. As a result of high-temperature peat pyrolysis, an oily fraction, a carbonaceous residue and a pyrolysis gas were obtained. A series of experiments was also carried out using traditional thermal heating of peat. The obtained samples were analyzed on GCMS-QP2010 Ultra-GC-mass spectrometer. Chromatograms of pyrolytic gases were compared and showed a higher yield of combustible gases when microwave exposure to samples (Fig. 2, 3). A CH-analysis of the initial sample loaded into the reactor and a carbonaceous residue after the pyrolysis process were also carried out (Table 1).
