Versatility of Byproducts from a Plastic Pyrolysis Plant for Diverse Industrial Applications
At the heart of a plastic pyrolysis plant lies the process of pyrolysis, wherein plastic waste is subjected to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, leading to the breakdown of complex hydrocarbons into simpler compounds. This thermochemical transformation yields a trifecta of valuable byproducts: pyrolysis oil, syngas, and carbon black. Pyrolysis oil, often referred to as bio-oil or ...
