In this process, the dechlorination efficiency of PVC was significantly promoted by the reaction with wood chips or glycerol. When wood chips, PVC and glycerol with a weight ratio of 1: 1: 1.5 were heated at 200�260°C in an autoclave, solid products that contained a liquid remained at a temperature below 220°C. When the temperature was increased to 240°C, the liquid product disappeared, and resinified biochar was obtained. Accordingly, the process can be simplified without the need for separation after the carbonization. The biochar yield was 17.3 at 220°C and increased rapidly to 53.6 at 240°C. Similarly, the dechlorination rate was 30 at 220°C and increased to 80 at 240°C. This is attributed to the progress of the epoxy reaction, which was accompanied by dechlorination, in the temperature range of 220�240°C.
