Abstract:Nowadays, "white pollution" waste plastics (WPs) have seriously damaged the ecological environment. Pyrolysis is an effective means of the resource utilization of WPs. Due to the complex composition of mixed WPs (containing chlorine), it is necessary to carry out fractional pyrolysis. This review numerically simulates the process of staged pyrolysis of mixed WPs. The simulation results show that at low speeds (1 rpm), the particles slide along the inner wall of the reactor as a whole. When the rotation speed i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
