TG/FTIR analysis on co-pyrolysis behavior of PE, PVC and PS

Current state and future prospects of plastic waste as source of fuel: A review

“…Plastics mixture ratio of 1:1 was able to give highest conversion when compared to other ratios. The same observation on effect of PS towards pyrolysis rate was also made in another work [127]. In term of composition, the liquid product consisted mainly benzene, styrene and their oligomers from PS, as well as aliphatic compounds from LDPE, HDPE and PP.…”

Thermogravimetric characteristics of typical municipal solid waste fractions during co-pyrolysis

“…The pyrolysis of PVC and PE did not occur at the same time, thus the interactions between them was weak. This was proved by the result that with higher heating rate of 40°C min À1 , the interaction between PVC and PE was more significant (Wu et al, 2014).…”

“…However, most of the research studies the characteristics of single fractions, while the fractions do not act independently during pyrolysis (Wu et al, 2014). Sorum et al (2001) investigated possible interactions between different paper and plastic fractions, and it was found that the reactivity of cellulosic matter was increased in a mixture with PVC.…”

Pervaporative recovery of acetone from water using mixed matrix blend membranes

“…In fact, pure PVC shows two different degradation profiles, one from around 200-350°C corresponding to 10-70 wt.% degradation and the remaining 70-90% degradation in the temperature range of 350-550°C. The first stage of decomposition is associated with dehydrochlorination of PVC [40] because of the easy breaking of C-Cl bond while the second stage of degradation above 350°C is associated with the degradation of the main chain of PVC because of the breaking of C-C bond of PVC [41]. As PS is incorporated in the matrix of PVC, its thermal properties improves.…”
