Copyrolysis of block polypropylene with waste wood chip
In this study, the copyrolysis of waste wood chip (WC) and block polypropylene (PP) was studied to investigate how the characteristics of bio-oils are affected by copyrolysis. The thermogravimetric analysis performed with a temperature rise of 20 ℃/min, from room temperature to 600 ℃, showed that the decomposition temperature of PP was a little higher via copyrolysis than the single-component pyrolysis. This result suggests that the characteristics of the pyrolysis of PP were affected by the pyrolysis products of WC. The Py-GC/MS analysis of the copyrolysis products detected some new compounds that had not been detected in the single-component pyrolysis products, indicating interactions between the products of WC and PP pyrolyses. The results of the experiments using a fixed bed reactor showed improved properties of the bio-oil obtained from the copyrolysis compared to those of the bio-oil obtained from the single-component pyrolysis: increased carbon and hydrogen contents, decreased water content and a significantly increased heating value.
