Liquefaction of Municipal Waste Plastics over Acidic and Nonacidic Catalysts

“…The use of activated carbons as a catalyst support offers some advantages over the more traditional acidic oxide supports, such as stability in acidic and basic media, ease of recovery of precious metals supported on them, and the possibility of tailoring their properties to specific needs [29,31]. It has been reported that metal-supported activated carbon (M-AC) catalysts have shown excellent cracking activity in addition to hydrogenation, on petroleum-derived heavy oils and some coal model compounds [32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. The catalytic effects of M-AC catalysts in hydrocracking of vacuum gas oil have been explained by a radical mechanism.…”

Coal/Polymer Coprocessing With Efficient Use of Hydrogen

“…An added feature is that it contains five different aromatic-aliphatic or aliphatic-aliphatic carbon-carbon bonds. Successful predictions of the relevant primary products for real systems using NBBM confirmed the adequacy of this model compound, and thus, it was employed in this study [9][10][11][12]. The structure of NBBM is depicted in Figure 1.…”

Coal/Polymer Coprocessing With Efficient Use of Hydrogen

“…Successful predictions of the relevant primary products for real systems using NBBM confirmed the adequacy of this model compound, and thus, it will be employed in this study. [10][11][12][13] The structure of NBBM is depicted in Figure 1. Although numerous hydrocarbons may serve as appropriate model compounds for high density and low density polyethylene, tetradecane, C 14 H 30 (MW=198), was chosen as an appropriate compromise in reactant size.…”
