Abstract:
In the continued effort to find sustainable sources of hydrocarbons, researchers worldwide are actively exploring plastic waste and developing methodologies using pyrolysis technologies to convert waste plastics into usable petrochemical feedstocks. These new processes have been difficult to properly monitor with current analytical approaches used for traditional hydrocarbon streams. A new ASTM method (D8519) utilizing vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectroscopy provides class-based identification and quantitation of hydrocarbons in pyrolysis oils over a broad carbon range. In this presentation we’ll discuss the most recent updates of D8519 as it progresses through the ASTM process.
