Is full recyclability of polyolefins via chemical recycling a dream, or can it become a reality?
The main problem in recycling plastic waste is that its composition is highly heterogeneous …

The management of plastic waste (PW) has become an indispensable worldwide issue
because of the enhanced accumulation and environmental impacts of these waste …

Due to the complexity and diversity of polyolefinic plastic waste streams and the inherent
non-selective nature of the pyrolysis chemistry, the chemical decomposition of plastic waste …

Annually, an enormous amount of plastic waste is produced worldwide. This waste should
be appropriately managed to limit the environmental burden. However, only a small part of …

Recycling of mixed plastic waste via pyrolysis and subsequent steam cracking towards light
olefins is a promising solution for the ever-growing plastic waste crisis. However, the …

Steam cracking is an integral process in the plastic manufacturing industry. Conventional
steam crackers are tubular reactors and use fossil-based feedstocks like naphtha and LPG …

Pyrolysis of polyolefins generates a large amount of olefins, which can serve as a valuable
feedstock for the synthesis of chemicals. Nevertheless, their effective utilization requires …

This study investigates the pyrolysis of polyethylene waste in a continuous-feed mode to
provide novel insights into recycling waste plastics. Alumina (Al 2 O 3) porous media has …

The primary challenges in ex-situ catalytic pyrolysis of plastic waste to produce light olefins
lie in the selective conversion of larger olefins and diolefins downstream of the pyrolyzer …
