Thermal degradation of packaging plastic waste and its conversion into fuel by pyrolysis

Abstract

Non biodegradable plastic waste 10 8220 15 of any municipal solid waste is a direct result of rapid industrial growth and modern lifestyle of human being The high calorific value of most of the plastics manufactured from fossil fuel urges one to reuse them productively Pyrolysis is one of the ubiquitous process converting organic materials into various useful forms via thermochemical decomposition at elevated temperature under oxygen starving environment In this study three major contrib...
