Abstract:
Elemental analysis of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur (CHNS) & oxygen is essential for understanding the composition and fuel potential of Waste Plastic Pyrolysis Oil (WPPO). These parameters guide quality assessment and downstream processing compatibility. WPPO, however, poses analytical challenges due to its complex and variable composition, particular for oxygen determination at very low concentrations. Practical insights are shared on addressing these challenges, supported by our solution that combines optimized instrumentation with tailored methodologies for robust, reproducible results. Remaining obstacles in standardization are discussed, underscoring the urgent need for reliable norms to ensure harmonized WPPO analysis.
