Catalytic pyrolysis of different plastics using low-cost catalysts: wax characteristics and oil stability

Abstract

PC and PVC are not recommended as raw materials for plastic waste pyrolysis to produce pyrolysis oil.

Pyrolysis of PS and PP exhibits almost no wax and completely wax-free oil using bentonite as a catalyst.

The use of catalyst can increase the gasoline fraction in PP and LDPE but decrease in PS and HDPE.
