To abate the environmental burden derived from the massive generation of cattle manure (CM), pyrolysis of CM was suggested as one of the methods for manure treatment. In respect of carbon utilization, pyrolysis has an advantage in that it can produce usable carbon-based chemicals. This study was conducted to investigate a syngas production from pyrolysis of CM in CO2 condition. In addition, mechanistic functionality of CO2 in CM pyrolysis was investigated. It was found that the formation of CO was enhanced at ≥ 600 ˚C in CO2 environment, which was attribute to the homogeneous reactions between CO2 and volatile matters (VMs). To expedite reaction kinetics for syngas production during CM pyrolysis, Catalytic pyrolysis was carried out using Co/SiO2 as a catalyst. The synergistic effects of CO2 and catalyst accelerate the formation of H2 and CO at entire temperature range. Thus, this result offers that CO2 could be a viable option for syngas production with the mitigation of greenhouse gas.
