Thermal behavior and pyrolytic degradation kinetics of polymeric mixtures from waste packaging plastics
The thermal behavior and pyrolytic kinetic analysis of main waste polymers (polypropylene (PP), polyethylene
film (PE), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), polystyrene (PS)) and three synthetic mixtures representing commingled postconsumer
plastics wastes (CPCPWs) output from material recovery facilities were studied. Thermogravimetry (TG) pyrolysis
experiments revealed that the thermal degradation of single polymers and the synthetic mixture enriched in PP occurred in
