Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process that plays a significant role in the chemical recycling of plastics. It involves heating plastic waste in the absence of oxygen at high temperatures, typically between 300°C and 900°C. This intense heat causes the long polymer chains to break down into smaller molecules, such as a mixture of gases, liquids (oil), and solid residue (char). The specific composition of the products depends on several factors, including the type of ....
