Schematic representation of a pyrolysis process for plastics.
In practice, a mixed plastic stream separated out from MSW is pyrolyzed
where synergistic effects can sometimes be obtained. The yield and
composition of fuel depend on the feed stream (Wong and Broadbelt, 2001)
handle a range of input streams of mixed plastics, most processes can only
tolerate limited amounts of PVC and PET scrap. Both these yield relatively
