Conversion of Waste Plastic Packings to Carbon Nanomaterials: Investigation into Catalyst Material, Waste Type, and Product Applications

Dingding Yao et al.

Summary: In this study, waste plastics from local food courts were catalytically pyrolyzed to produce carbon nanomaterials and hydrogen-rich gases. Different bimetallic catalysts were synthesized and compared, and Fe-Ni-Mg catalyst showed the best performance. Results also indicated that different types of plastics resulted in different products, and PET bottles were not suitable for carbon nanomaterial production. The plastic-derived carbon nanomaterials exhibited strong adsorption capacity for metal cations and could be applied in wastewater treatment.

Investigating the influences of metal-support interaction in Ni-Fe catalysts on the quality of carbon nanomaterials from waste polypropylene

Qingyu Liu et al.

Summary: Pyrolysis-catalysis is a promising method for recycling waste plastics. In this study, the metal-support interaction (MSI) of catalysts was adjusted by introducing different metal components (Ni or/and Fe) and a pre-reduction process. The results showed that NiFe catalysts had moderate MSI and achieved high yields of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs). However, after pre-reduction, the MSI was strengthened and the CNMs growth mechanism shifted, resulting in less carbon formation on monometallic Fe or bimetallic NiFe catalysts.
