Analysis of pyrolysis index and reaction mechanism in microwave-assisted ex-situ catalytic co-pyrolysis of agro-residual and plastic wastes

Dadi V. Suriapparao et al.

Summary: Catalytic and non-catalytic microwave-assisted co-pyrolysis of biomass with plastics was conducted to investigate their interactions. The results showed that co-pyrolysis increased gas yields but reduced oil yields. The oil fraction derived from plastic pyrolysis contained more hydrocarbons, while biomass pyrolysis resulted in the formation of oxygenated compounds in the oil. A new parameter, the pyrolysis index, was introduced to measure pyrolysis intensity, and it was found to be higher for plastic pyrolysis than biomass pyrolysis, further increased by co-pyrolysis due to synergistic interactions.
