Description
The report outlines the outcomes of plastic litter pyrolysis treatment. The resulting pyrolysis products, including oil, char, and syngas, were characterised for elemental analysis, carbon content, calorific value, and pollutant content (sulphur, halogens). The outcome of these activities was the development of a procedure for treating Plastic Marine Litters, tailored to the different types of plastic.
