In this study, machine learning models were used to predict the yields from the co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastics. Insights were gained into the influence of various parameters on the yields, and further improvements are now possible.
Because of high oxygen content, pH and viscosity, pyrolysis bio-oil is of low quality. Upgrading bio-oil can be achieved by co-pyrolysis of biomass with waste plastics, and it is seen as a promising measure for mitigating waste. In this work, machine learning models were developed to predict yields from the co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastics. Classical machine learning and neural network algorithms were trained with datasets, acquired for biochar and bio-oil yields, with cross-validation and hyperparameters. XGBoost predicted biochar yield with an RMSE of 1.77 and R-2 of 0.96, and the dense neural network was able to predict the bio-oil yield with an RMSE of 2.6 and R-2 of 0.96. The SHapley Additive exPlanations analysis technique was used to understand the influence of various parameters on the yields from co-pyrolysis. This study provides valuable insights to understand the co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastics, and it opens the way for further improvements.
