In this study, nitrogen emission behavior of woody waste on pyrolysis treatment was investigated by thermal treatment and TG-FTIR measurement. It was found that tar-N from woody waste is 50-65% and char-N is 28-45% and the rest is NH_3 and HCN at pyrolysis temperature in the range of 423-770 deg C. In addition, this experiment showed that main nitrogen component in tar-N is formamide, and pyrolysis product components from formamide is mainly NH_3.
