Abstract

Plastic production is skyrocketing due to convenience needs and thus, the amount of plastic waste is increasing. There are several different methods to handle plastic waste, within which waste-to-energy processes are viable options in certain settings. However, the combustion of materials is a complicated and complex process that can take place in a number of ways. When exposed to heat, different polymers behave differently (e.g. have different emission factors) and thus, not all types of plastic waste recommended to be handled through combustion. Therefore, it is vital to achieve a deeper understanding of these processes in order to decide on the end use of plastic materials. Four common types of polymers were studied: polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyester-elastane (PES-EL) mixture. The combustion properties of the plastic materials were investigated. The experiments were carried out in a laboratory electric resistance tube furnace at two different temperatures (650 and 900 °C). The behavior of these mainly single-use plastic wastes and the changes in the concentrations of CO, CO2, NOx, and O2 flue gas components generated during combustion was studied to determine the quality of potential waste-to-energy processes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
