in an inert atmosphere. This process reverses the polymerization that originally created the plastic, yielding three primary products:

Thermal pyrolysis relies solely on heat, often requiring higher temperatures and resulting in a broader product distribution. introduces catalysts—such as Zeolite Y or Ni-modified zeolites—to lower reaction temperatures, increase the yield of specific fractions (like gasoline or aromatics), and improve the quality of the resulting oil. in an inert atmosphere
A carbonaceous residue that requires careful management but can potentially be used as a material additive or biochar-based catalyst. 2.1 Catalytic vs. Thermal Pyrolysis Feedstock Recycling and Pyrolysis of Waste Plas...
