Production of Hydrogen from Plastics by Pyrolysis and Catalytic Steam Reform
Abstract
Thermal decomposition of the most common plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene produces a mixture of many different hydrocarbons that can be used as a feedstock for producing hydrogen. The proposed process includes two steps: pyrolysis of plastics and catalytic steam reforming of pyrolysis gases and vapors. This research provides a proof of concept supported by experiments on selected polymers performed using a microscale reactor system interfaced with a molecular beam mass spectrometer and demonstrates process performance using a two-reactor bench-scale system. From 60 g/h polypropylene fed to the system 20.5 g/h hydrogen was produced, which corresponds to 80% of the theoretical potential.

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.
