Waste Polyolefins to Liquid Fuels via Pyrolysis: Review of Commercial State-of-the-Art and Recent Laboratory Research (2011, positive): “Generally speaking thermal pyrolysis of polyolefins results in 23 conversion of the polyolefin at lower temperatures (350 ̊C) to wax [133].”
Study of the pyrolysis of municipal solid waste for the production of valuable products (2011, positive): “[31] showed that pyrolysis can be used effectively to degrade low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polystyrene (PS) to produce high grade fuel-like oils for energy production, new industrial raw materials or chemical feedstock.”
Pyrolysis of plastic waste for liquid fuel production as prospective energy resource (2018, methodology): “68 PJ/year to Malaysia’s energy supply based on the HHV of 43 MJ/kg as shown in Table 1 and the liquid oil production of 97wt% as reported by Onwudili, Insura [17], indicated in table 2.”
A review on thermal and catalytic pyrolysis of plastic solid waste (PSW). (2017, background): “PS pyrolysis oil contained high fraction of benzene, toluene and ethyl benzene especially at elevated temperatures alongside the monomer of styrene which was deemed to form as radicals during the pyrolysis (Onwudili et al., 2009).”
Valorization of packaging plastic waste by slow pyrolysis (2018, methodology): “(Onwudili et al., 2009), semi-batch (Lopez-Urionabarrenechea et al.”
