“…This good performance is a consequence of the solid flow pattern and the action of the spout which avoids the formation of agglomerates. Spouted beds have been applied successfully for the kinetic studies of pyrolysis of a number of polymers including waste tires [16,17], polystyrene [18], polyethylene and polypropylene [13,19,20], poly-(methyl methacrylate) [21]. Nevertheless, the kinetic modeling of PET has not yet been considered in spouted bed reactors.…”
