Product Distribution and Mechanistic Aspects in Pyrolytic Decomposition of Some Commodity Plastics

Abstract

Recent years seen remarkable demand for plastic goods in varied fields of application. with the rise in the use of plastics there is a parallel rise in the generation of wasre plastics. due to the non-biadegradable nature of most of the plastic, their presence in the waste stream has become a major concern. Pyrolysis of plastics offers a technological solution to the management of this voluminous waste which otherwise , would end up in landfills..
