Chemical recycling of plastic waste by reactor and catalyst engineering Ghent University
Through pyrolysis, monomers can be recovered from polymers through the thermal degradation of long-chain hydrocarbons. Produced monomers can be used for the production of chemicals, fuels, and virgin plastics with identical performance as the original material. This research theoretically/experimentally assesses the performance of novel vortex reactors in performing thermal/catalytic pyrolysis of plastics in comparison with conventional ...
