Effects of using ZSM-5 and a rock-reforming mineral as catalysts on liquid fraction collected from polypropylene pyrolysis

Abstract

In this study, a rock-reforming mineral and zeolite ZSM-5 were used as catalysts in the pyrolysis of polypropylene (PP) to get liquid Products. The structures of catalysts were investigated via XRD and FTIR techniques. The liquid fractions collected from the non-catalytic and catalytic pyrolysis processes were indicated via GCMS measurement.
