In 1950, global plastic production was about 2 million tons. It's now about 400 million tons—an increase of nearly 20,000%. As a material, it has seemingly limitless potential. Plastic is inexpensive ...

Dr. Byungwook Hwang's research team from the CCS Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a process that applies the circulating fluidized bed ...

Plastic waste is a growing problem, accumulating in landfills and the environment. Pyrolysis is a promising and industrially relevant approach for transforming plastic waste into value-added chemicals ...

In this work, fixed-bed reactor pyrolysis experiments were used to quantify the synergistic effect of sewage sludge (SS) and sugarcane residue (SR). The pyrolysis performance was examined using the ...
