1. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)Abstract : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. READ MORE
