Abstract:
The composition of pyrolysis oil can vary significantly depending on the processed plastic waste. This makes it even more crucial to monitor the levels of heteroatoms before introducing pyoil into refineries and steam crackers. The quantification of halogens, S, N, and C is done using combustion elemental analyzers. This session discusses how pyoil, which is very reactive, can nonetheless be combusted completely and soot-free and most importantly without the operator having to optimize the combustion process in a lengthy trial and error fashion. Furthermore, we present a way of conducting halogen analysis that reliably prevents any backflow of sulfuric acid.
