Plastic solid waste (PSW) is an ever‐growing environmental challenge for our society, as it
not only ends up in landfills but also in waterways and oceans and is consequently entering …

The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted great shocks and challenges to the environment,
society and economy. Simultaneously, an intractable issue appeared: a considerable …

Pyrolysis of plastics has gained more attention recently due to the advantages of
environmental protection and energy conversion. In this study, low-density polyethylene …

The influence of ZSM-5 zeolite and Red Mud in the pyrolysis of plastic wastes has been
studied. Both catalysts have been thoroughly characterized; the zeolite shows weak and …

Waste-to-energy is a promising approach to tackle the energy shortage and reduce the
environmental pollution. The present study aimed to evaluate the technical and economic …

Pyrolysis may be an alternative for the reclamation of rejected streams of waste from sorting
plants where packing and packaging plastic waste is separated and classified. These …

This study aims to investigate the thermal behaviours of a specific biomass and a polymer
sample through co-pyrolytic degradation. Therefore, a non-edible food processing waste …

The objective of this work is the study of several dechlorination methods devoted to reduce
the chlorine content of the liquids obtained in pyrolysis of PVC containing plastic wastes. A …

The pyrolysis of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was qualitatively analyzed by TG-FTIR, and HCl
removal efficiency of Ca-based additives were semi-quantitatively studied also by means of …

Chlorine (Cl) is extensively present in solid wastes, causing significant problems during the
thermal conversion of waste to energy or fuels, by combustion, gasification or pyrolysis. This …
