1 Introduction Nonlignocellulosic biomass like algae, manure, food waste, and sewage sludge produce various N-species upon being combusted, gasified, or pyrolyzed [1]. Pyrrole () is a key species in the fuel-N reaction mechanism because it is the smallest molecule with an N atom in the heterocycle ring [2]. In an early effort to understand chemistry, Patterson et al. [3] investigated its pyrolysis and identified products like methane, ethylene, acetylene, benzene, hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia.
