Description
Book SynopsisThis new book provides an overview of the science and technology of pyrolysis of waste plastics. It describes: the types of plastics that are suitable for pyrolysis recycling; the mechanism of pyrolytic degradation of various plastics; characterization of the pyrolysis products; and details of commercially mature pyrolysis technologies.
Trade Review"…contains a wealth of information…anyone interested in the field must consult this text." (
