Description for Feedstock Recycling and Pyrolysis of Waste Plastics: Converting Waste Plastics into Diesel and Other Fuels
Hardcover. This new book provides an overview of the science and technology of pyrolysis of waste plastics. It describes: the types of plastics that are suitable for pyrolysis recycling; the mechanism of pyrolytic degradation of various plastics; characterization of the pyrolysis products; and details of commercially mature pyrolysis technologies. Editor(s): Scheirs, John; Kaminsky, Walter. Series: Wiley Series in Polymer Science. Num Pages: 816 pages, ill. BIC Classification: TDCP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 248 x 177 x 53. Weight in Grams: 1528.
Pyrolysis is a recycling technique converting plastic waste into fuels, monomers, or other valuable materials by thermal and catalytic cracking processes. It allows the treatment of mixed, unwashed plastic wastes. For many years research has been carried out on thermally converting waste plastics into useful hydrocarbons liquids such as crude oil and diesel fuel. Recently the technology has matured to the point where commercial plants are now available. Pyrolysis recycling of mixed waste plastics into generator and transportation fuels is seen as the answer for recovering value from unwashed, mixed plastics and achieving their desired diversion from landfill.
