Abstract:
As the concerns over fossil fuels increase, interest in alternative fuels such as pyrolysis oil have increased. Understanding the chemical composition of these oils is required to process the oils into workable fuels and feedstocks. This study uses an offline two-dimensional technique with supercritical fluid chromatography as the first dimension and gas chromatography – vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy/mass spectrometry as the second dimension. Various supercritical fluid chromatography column chemistries were evaluated for separation prior to fractionation. These chemistries along with the UV/VUV/ and MS spectral data, provided insight into these plastic waste pyrolysis oils.
