Synthesis of value-added aromatic chemicals from catalytic pyrolysis of waste wind turbine blades and their kinetic analysis using artificial neural network

Impact of Metal Impregnation of Commercial Zeolites in the Catalytic Pyrolysis of Real Mixture of Post-Consumer Plastic Waste

“…However, thermal cracking is an uncontrolled breakdown pathway in plastic waste process treatment to obtain an adequate feedstock to produce chemicals [10], but the presence of catalytic materials solves certain limitations concerning temperature dependence by including specific catalytic characteristics such as surface area, pore size distribution, and acidity [11]. Up to this point, several studies have researched the thermal degradation of different plastic waste over catalytic materials; some of them aimed at the production of aromatic hydrocarbons using commercial zeolites like HY and HZSM-5 [12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and others intended to compare the effect of contact mode on product distribution either operating under in situ or ex situ schemes [10,19,20], others focused on the production of hydrogen-rich syngas and carbon nanomaterials [13,21].…”
