2022 March - 9 articles

Cover Story: Fast pyrolysis represents an economically viable and environmentally benign process for the valorization of hazardous organic solid wastes toward value-added chemicals, fuels, and materials. Acrylic aliphatic esters can be recovered from the pyrolysis of residual paints, while catalytic upgrading of creosote-tread wood and petroleum sludges pyrolysis vapors can provide BTX aromatics along with valuable ethylene and propylene to be utilized in the petrochemical and polymer industry. In addition to pyrolysis oil and non-condensable gas utilization, pyrolysis char can be used in soil amendment or as raw material toward functional activated micro/mesoporous carbons. View this paper
