Feedstock Recycling and Pyrolysis of Waste Plastics

Comprehensive reference book on conversion of waste plastics into fuels: Feedstock Recycling and Pyrolysis of Waste Plastics: Converting Waste Plastics into Diesel and Other Fuels, by John Scheirs and Walter Kaminsky, Wiley Series in Polymer Science, 2006, 660 Pages, John Wiley & Sons, UK.

Pyrolysis is a recycling technique converting plastic waste into fuels, monomers, or other valuable materials by thermal and catalytic cracking processes. It allows the treatment of mixed, unwashed plastic wastes. For many years, research has been carried out on thermally converting waste plastics into useful hydrocarbons liquids such as crude oil and diesel fuel.
