What is Kinetic Experiments for Pyrolytic Recycling of Solid Plastic Waste about?

Pyrolysis is a promising strategy to convert plastic wastes to valuable liquid products that can be used as fuels, chemicals and platform molecules. An understanding of the pyrolysis chemistry and kinetics of neat polymers and contaminated waste plastics is valuable to design and optimize the pyrolysis reactors for maximum recovery and selectivity to valuable organics in the liquid pyrolysis oil. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a popular analytical technique to obtain mass loss data, which can then be used to obtain the decomposition regimes and kinetics of polymer pyrolysis. Owing to the limitations of TGA such as slow heating rate and the influence of heat and mass transfer on kinetics and pyrolysate evolution, a number of analytical pyrolyzers have captured the attention of researchers for accurate estimation of product yields and fast pyrolysis kinetics. This article provides an overview of the different pyrolyzers including TGA, Pyroprobe, Curie point pyrolyzer, Frontier micropyrolyzer, Pyrola and PHASR (Pulse Heated Analysis of Solid Reactions), analyzes their capabilities, and pros and cons of each of them for the kinetics of plastic decomposition.
