“…Microwave-assisted co-pyrolysis of waste PS with coal was also reported to produce aromatic liquid products in narrow range, together with acetylene and H 2 S as gaseous products [68]. Other than polymer waste, MAP can also be used to produce fuels from agricultural waste [86] and tire waste [69][70][71].…”

“…Later, in an experimental study led by Hussain et al [42], pyrolysis was achieved effectively, based on microwave-metal interaction mechanism as a novel means of generating heat rather than the use of absorbents. Only few works have been explored principled on this mechanism [42][43][44]. The first experiment was conducted on a waste polystyrene (PS) plastic sample (20g), placed inside an iron mesh.…”

Abstract. This paper presents an overview of advantages of microwave assisted pyrolysis of waste plastics together with its limitations. It has been established that microwave induced pyrolysis can be used to get value added chemicals and fuels through its numerous noted advantages in contrast to conventional pyrolysis. The process has the potential for fast, volumetric and selective heating of plastics for the recovery of energy. The limitation in the use of dielectric material as absorbent in plastic pyrolysis has been highlighted. Special focus has been given to the constraints encountered in the accurate measurement of temperature and uniform heating in microwave assisted pyrolysis. A new alternative method based on microwave-metal interaction in the pyrolysis of plastic waste has been presented. Further it has been realized that proper investigation and understanding of microwave process shortcomings is fundamental to the successful implementation of the technology and at the same time provide a sustainable environment in the endeavor for waste to energy mission.

“…The microwave-assisted pyrolysis results in higher quantities of liquid products of increased selectivity in a shorter time, and offers a cheap procedure for industrialscale conversion of waste polystyrene into valuable commercial products. This method was extended by the authors to the co-pyrolysis of waste polystyrene with coal [74], where the oily liquid was found to contain mainly aromatic compounds such as 1-phenylethanol, 2-benzylphenol, 2-styrylphenol or methoxymethylbenzene in a narrow range. Conventional pyrolysis of polystyrene requires a temperature of 510 C and yields 92% liquid with almost 62% styrene monomer [75].…”

Development of advanced, environmentally friendly and energy-saving techniques for the chemical recycling of polymers is of paramount importance in the polymer industry. Understanding polymer degradation is the scientific key behind this technological challenge. Recent research on the application of microwave irradiation to polymer degradation is presented in this review. Results have shown the potential advantage of microwaves for complete polymer degradation in a significantly reduced time scale compared with conventional heating. The benefits of using microwave irradiation in the degradation of polyesters [e.g. poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polycarbonate], polyurethanes, polyamides, poly[alkyl (meth)acrylates], polystyrene and other polymers is presented. Moreover, the effect of microwave heating on the pyrolysis of commodity polymers such as polyethylene, is also discussed. Finally, the double role of materials used traditionally as solvents, reagents or catalysts, but now also as microwave absorbers in polymer degradation is explored.
