Product distribution modelling in the thermal pyrolysis of high density polyethylene

Literature survey for a first choice of a fuel-oxidiser couple for hybrid propulsion based on kinetic justifications

“…higher the temperature, the lower the quantity of wax [49]. The gaseous part increases with the temperature up to about 90 wt.% at 1053 K. The oil is composed of aromatics.…”

“…Some numerical schemes are notably available for PE (simplified [32,49,[55][56][57] or detailed [58]) and with one step Arrhenius law or semi detailed mechanisms for halogenated polymer [54], for PET [59], PS [31,60] , PP [60], HTPB [15,16]. In the formation of a simplified scheme, the Arrhenius parameters are necessary for the consumption of initial polymer, for example HTPB [61], but also for the formation of pyrolysis products.…”

Kinetic modelling of high density polyethylene pyrolysis: Part 1. Comparison of existing models

“…Elordi et 105 al. [15] proposed a similar size mechanism, which has been validated for a larger temperature range (723 K to 106 propulsion is typically less than 1 s at elevated temperature, over 1000 K. For this reason, the initial instants are of 141 high importance to represent the dynamics of the phenomena. The disagreement in terms of time, for a given level of 142 solid conversion, will be analysed in section 2.1.6 to be summarized with other data.…”

Effect of acid catalysts on scrap tyre pyrolysis under fast heating conditions

“…Literature papers on catalytic pyrolysis of tyres are scarcer than those dealing with the catalytic pyrolysis of other residues, such as biomass [14,15] or plastics [16][17][18][19][20][21]. San Miguel et al [22] report an increase in the yield of BTX aromatics, based on results obtained by incorporating in situ zeolites in the sample container of a thermobalance.…”
