A sustainable bioenergy conversion strategy for textile waste with self-catalysts using mini-pyrolysis plant

TL;DR: In this paper, a textile waste was pyrolyzed in original condition and after acid leaching to remove the heavy metals for comparison, and the results showed that the developed technology successfully converted more than 82% of the feedstock into liquid-gas products and that the untreated feedstock had effective bio-oil yield 36-37.6% (depending on the composition of self-catalysts), which was ∼20% higher compared to the treated batches; 18% reduction in pyroplysis time of untreated feed stock was achieved as well.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of various additives on the pyrolysis characteristics of municipal solid waste.

TL;DR: The additives were found to have a deoxidation effect that decreased the acid content, potentially improving the quality and stability of the tar, and the additives decreased the yield of carboxylic acid and ethanol, and increased the ester yield.
