Pyrolysis products of uncoated printing and writing paper of MSW

Vitrified metal finishing wastes

“…The TGA curves and derivatives shown here in Fig. 3 confirmed the gentler nature of waste P. Its total weight loss was substantially lower than waste B and almost all weight loss took place below 600 • C. Weight loss was approximately linear in the range 200-400 • C, and has widely been attributed to the evolution of H 2 O, CO and CO 2 [37][38][39]. Weight losses levelled off at 450-500 • C then increased again above 550 • C for both samples.…”

Production of Hydrocarbon Liquid by Thermal Pyrolysis of Paper Cup Waste

“…The yields of non-hydrocarbon gases and of hydrocarbons were about 10.46 and 0.49% at 623 K, 33.68 and 0.89% at 700 K, 64.52 and 1.05% at 788 K, and 79.10 and 1.63% at 938 K, respectively. Since the synthetic gases (CO, CO 2 , H 2 O, HCs) contained a high calorific value, their use as marketable fuels gently supported the importance for resource recycling of the uncoated printing and writing paper [6]. Shah et al have pyrolysed waste LDPE in a home-assembled batch reactor under atmospheric pressure using a wide range of acidic and basic catalyst like silica, calcium carbide alumina, magnesium oxide, and homogenous mixture of silica and alumina.…”

Waste to Energy: Investigation of Characteristics and Thermal Behaviors of Wastes

“…Numerous studies of characteristics and thermal behaviors have been conducted on various types of waste, for instance, pyrolysis and gasification of corn wastes [5], woody biomass, oat straw, dried citrus waste [6] as well as food waste [7]; co-pyrolysis of raw/terrified wood and coal blends [8]; pyrolysis of paper waste [9], [10]; combustion on wood pellet and sawdust [11] and municipal waste [12], [13]; gasification of rice husk [14], bagasse [15] and municipal solid waste [16]. Nevertheless, due to the wide variation in the nature of different waste sources, the existing data regarding municipal, agricultural and industrial wastes is still very small and fragmented.…”
