Chemicals and Energy from Medical Polymer Wastes I. Pyrolysis of Disposable Syringes

Abstract: The pyrolysis of the disposable syringes has been studied and reaction products have been characterized by gas-chromatography, density, refractive indices, aniline point analysis and spectroscopic methods. It has been concluded that pyrolysis offers a solution for treatment of this kind of medical polymer wastes and fuels and/or chemicals can be obtained.

“…A new graphical method is reported here for estimating the composition of a complex gas mixture resulting from the pyrolysis of waste syringes containing approximately equal amounts of PE and PP. The main gas components are: hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, acetylene, ethylene, ethane, propene and propane [11,12].…”
