Valorization of packaging plastic waste by slow pyrolysis (2018, methodology): “Various other reactor configurations like conical spouted bed reactor (Aguado et al., 2002c; Elordi et al., 2009), rotary kiln reactor (Aguado et al., 2002a; Serrano et al., 2003), microwave pyrolysis (Ludlow-Palafox and Chase, 2001b; Undri et al., 2013) etc. have also been utilized.”
Microwave pyrolysis as a method of recycling glass fibre from used blades of wind turbines (2012, background): “Previously, studies on microwave pyrolysis concerned pyrolysis of plastic wastes.(15) Heating by microwave radiation has the advantage that the bulk of the material is heated throughout.”
Microwave pyrolysis, a novel process for recycling waste automotive engine oil (2010, background): “Microwave-induced pyrolysis (MP) is a relatively new process that was initially developed by Tech-En Ltd in Hainault, UK; this anaerobic thermal treatment uses a microwave-heated bed of particulate carbon, and has been shown to be an effective method of recovering useful chemicals present in wastes ”
Feedstock recycling and pyrolysis of waste plastics : converting waste plastics into diesel and other fuels (2006, background): “The possibility of cofeeding plastic wastes with petroleum cuts such as vacuum gas oil (VGO) [110], Arabian light petroleum residues [111], light cycle oil [84], lube oils [88] or even raw chemicals such as benzene [85] has been widely investigated in the literature.”
Microwave and Slow Pyrolysis Biochar – Comparison of Physical and Functional Properties (2013, background): “Microwave heating offers several advantages over conventional heating, as it is often more 54 controllable [7], [8] energy [9–11] and cost [12] efficient and therefore in many cases may 55 offer a potentially attractive alternative to “conventional” pyrolysis systems.”
