Recycling plastic wastes to valuable chemicals of monoaromatics and metals through catalytic-pyrolysis

CatPW

This project aims to recycle the metal-containing plastic wastes into monoaromatics and metal residues for industrial applications, by designing efficient pyrolysis systems in batch and continuous processes, and in noncatalytic and catalytic configurations. Catalytic pyrolysis can convert the plastic waste (PW)-derived vapors into valuable chemicals, such as monoaromatics. Besides the application of monoaromatics as fuels/additives, they are being used as building blocks in chemical production industry. In addition, metal residues from pyrolysis process can be recycled for further relevant industrial applications, enhancing the resource efficiency of the metal recovery industries. In this project, RISE ETC together with KTH and Boliden Rönnskär will investigate such a process using batch and continuous reactors.
