Zirconium oxide, or zirconia, when modified with anions such as sulfate ions forms a highly
acidic or superacidic catalyst depending on the treatment conditions. This catalyst is found to …

Polystyrene (PS) is one of the most popular plastics due to its versatility, which renders it
useful for a large variety of applications, including laboratory equipment, insulation and food …

The thermal degradations of polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), and poly (propylene)(PP)
have been studied in both inert nitrogen and air atmospheres by using thermogravimetry …

Interest in green chemistry and clean processes has grown so much in recent years that
topics such as fluorous biphasic catalysis, metal organic frameworks, and process …

Thermal degradation of plastic wastes offers the possibility of recovering energy and useful
chemicals. Polyethylene and polypropylene pyrolysis have been discussed already in …

This study investigated catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of a series of biomass (cellulose, lignin,
and pine wood), plastics (low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyethylene (PP), and …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the main plastics used in food packaging
products, which have a very short life and are rapidly transformed into waste, and accounts …

Pyrolysis is a promising thermochemical technique to convert polymers such as waste
plastics and lignocellulosic biomass to liquid products that are valuable either directly as or …

Catalytic fast pyrolysis of torrefied wood has been shown to improve the yields of aromatic
hydrocarbons in the bio-oil. In this study, Py-GC/MS was employed on torrefied wood (TW) …

The potential use of the liquid product obtained from the pyrolysis of polystyrene as a raw
material for the reproduction of the polymer was investigated in this study. Catalytic and non …
