TL;DR: Slow pyrolysis at 600 °C was undertaken to determine how yields and characteristics of biochars differ when produced from eight different agricultural residues, finding that biochar macronutrient content was low in comparison to biochar produced from more nutrient rich feedstocks.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage pyrolysis-catalysis of high density polyethylene has been investigated, where a mesoporous catalyst was layered on top of a microporous catalyst with the aim of maximising the conversion of the waste plastic to gasoline range hydrocarbons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of impregnation ratio and activation temperature on the yield and adsorption capacities of activated carbon were evaluated, and the chemical composition of the carbons was investigated by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy.

TL;DR: The results show that hydrogen can be produced from the pyrolysis-reforming process, but also carbon nanotubes are formed on the catalyst, but the content of 0.3 wt.% polyvinyl chloride in the waste HDPE (HDPE/PVC) has been shown to poison the catalyst and significantly reduce the quantity and purity of CNTs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the mechanism of the influence of Ni-Fe bimetallic catalyst for the producing high-value carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with clean hydrogen from waste plastic pyrolysis, using a two stage fixed bed reaction system with Ni and Fe loading at variant molar ratios.
