Thermal Pyrolysis of Plastic Waste: The Effect of Temperature and Heating Rate on the Yield of the Pyrolytic Oil

The pyrolysis of plastic waste is a promising method for converting plastics into valuable products like fuels and chemicals. This study investigates the influence of temperature and heating rate on the pyrolysis process. Understanding these effects is crucial for optimizing the process and maximizing product yields. Most of the results indicates that higher temperatures lead to increased gas and lower liquid yields, while lower temperatures favor solid formation. Additionally, a higher heating rate generally results in higher gas yields.
