Understanding the Conversion Mechanisms in Supercritical Water Conditions of Pet as a Model Compound of Plastic Wastes
Short Introductive summary
This work aims to study the conversion mechanisms of plastic wastes into valuable molecules (such as methane and hydrogen) through catalytic supercritical water gasification (SCWG) process. For this study, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) was used as a model molecule of plastic wastes. Understanding the behaviour of plastics is crucial to advance in the development of this technology and to explore its potential for the thermal-conversion of wastes into a high calorific gas. This work contributes to the pollution mitigation and promotes the circular economy of resources.
