This study is related to laboratory work and analytical measurement methods used in pyrolysis and incineration. The purpose of this work was to find how much heat was produced of plastic and composits during pyrolysis and incineration.
The measurements of this study were based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a bomb calorimeter system. The fifteen samples used in the experiments consisted of plastics and composites. Each sample was analysed three times using DSC and a bomb calorimeter system respectively. The onset temperatures, peak temperatures, pyrolysis heat areas, weight lost and the gross calorific values released of plastics and composites were evaluated in this study.
In conclusion, the results of this study show that none of the samples that were taken in this study released heat during pyrolysis and that plastics released more heat than composites in incineration.
As the project goes on, specific information will be given for the implementations of Technology Centre Ketek LTD. Information on the most economical and easiest way to recycle polymer wastes and the experimental results about what materials yield the most useful products of pyrolysis and incineration that could be used as feedstock in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
