Abstract:
The emphasis on circular economy is here to stay. Analyzing py oil samples that are processed from a variety of plastic feedstock can be challenging. The most difficult part is achieving good component characterization. We will compare the good, the bad, and the ugly. Good samples have a light tea color appearance, are easy to analyze and behave similarly to gasoline. The bad samples are heavier, dark molasses in color and harder to analyze. The ugly samples, we do not analyze! This presentation will explore what we have learned by using GC-VUV and DHA (ASTM 6730) as analysis methods.
