This paper explores the technical, environmental, and economic landscapes of . As global plastic production continues to surge, traditional mechanical recycling and incineration face significant limitations, positioning chemical recycling—specifically pyrolysis—as a critical pathway toward a circular economy.
A high-value hydrocarbon mixture suitable as a refinery feedstock or fuel. Feedstock Recycling and Pyrolysis of Waste Plas...
in an inert atmosphere. This process reverses the polymerization that originally created the plastic, yielding three primary products: in an inert atmosphere
Thermal pyrolysis relies solely on heat, often requiring higher temperatures and resulting in a broader product distribution. introduces catalysts—such as Zeolite Y or Ni-modified zeolites—to lower reaction temperatures, increase the yield of specific fractions (like gasoline or aromatics), and improve the quality of the resulting oil.
