“…Catalytic pyrolysis has more advantages compared to the thermal pyrolysis, because the energy consumption decreases, and a narrow range of hydrocarbons is produced [15,22]. Only limited number of papers were published on the catalytic pyrolysis of multilayered plastic waste [4,[23][24][25][26][27]. Those studies have mostly concentrated on catalytic pyrolysis products and their characterization.…”

The pyrolysis process drove scientific attention lately, as it represents the basis for the production of second generation of synthetic fuels and other chemicals. The process takes place in inert atmosphere, and liquids, gases, and small number of solid particles represent main reaction products. Pyrolysis can be thermal or catalytic. Thermal pyrolysis requires very high temperatures, and products do not have high quality, while addition of catalysts reduces the reaction time, there is a better conversion rate, and lower operation temperature. In this paper, multi-layered plastic waste is used as raw material for thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The composition of used plastic waste was previously determined based on the analysis of a large number of samples from fraction of mechanically non-recyclable plastic waste collected from waste treatment facilities in Croatia. Two natural zeolites with the most promising catalysts properties were selected for the reaction. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to understand the pyrolysis process of multi layered plastic waste and to determine the thermochemical behavior and kinetics. Kinetic analysis was performed using the isoconversional Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose method. The aim of this paper was to investigate how selected natural zeolite catalysts influence the kinetics of the pyrolysis process of multi-layered plastic waste.

“…Plastic is a non-degradable material that can persist in the environment for long periods of time [1]. On the other hand, it is a very special material with a great number of advantages: it is affordable, versatile, light, and resistant [2,3]. Plastic originates from petrochemicals and contains mostly hydrocarbons and some additives, such as antioxidants, flame retardants, and stabilizers, which make the material very bio-undegradable [4].…”

The present review addresses the latest findings and limitations in catalytic pyrolysis for the processing of plastic waste into valuable fuels. Compared to thermal degradation of plastics, catalytic pyrolysis provides better results in regards to the quality of the obtained liquid hydrocarbon fuel. Different types of catalysts can be used in order to improve the thermal degradation of plastics. Some of the most used catalysts are different types of zeolites (HUSY, HZSM-5, Hβ), Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC), silica-alumina catalysts, or natural clays. There is a need to find affordable and effective catalysts in the aim of achieving commercialization of catalytic pyrolysis of plastic waste. Therefore, this study summarizes and presents the most significant results found in the literature in regards to catalytic pyrolysis. This paper also investigates the symmetry effects of molecules on the pyrolysis process.
