Waste Plastic Thermal Pyrolysis: A Recent Advanced Study | Chapter 1 | Current Overview on Science and Technology Research Vol. 1

 This work is simply a simplification of a number of thermal pyrolysis research papers, most of which are recent, that are reviewed, cited, and used to demonstrate the growing interest in pyrolysis treatment techniques. Due to its unique biodegradation features, waste plastic (WP), also known as post-consumer plastic (PCP), management presents a significant challenge in the current day. Plastic trash output rises in step with the demand for plastic products. Research indicates that this urge grows yearly. High-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polystyrene make up the majority of these waste plastics (PS). Research has proven that pyrolysis is a dependable process for realising this potential. These wastes may be rich in resources. In this critical review, a complete investigation of waste plastics thermal pyrolysis (WPTP) is made. We talk about the product's yield and selectivity as well as the WPTP comparative quality guarantee. This paper offers confirmation of the most current WPTP findings and outlines a number of gaps and misunderstandings that are common in this field and that need to be cleared up in order to support further investigation. The significance of pyrolyzing plastic waste with biomass is also emphasised, and the effect of mixed waste plastics on pyrolysis is demonstrated.
