Slow Pyrolysis Products Derived from Extrudates Produced from Discard Coal Fines and Recycled Plastics as Binders.

ABSTRACT: The pyrolysis products derived from both coal and plastics have been extensively evaluated in literature; however, their copyrolysis product yields together with the characterization of the generated products have received less attention. Most studies use high heating rates with small particle sizes of the mechanically mixed blends. This study aims to improve the understanding of the slow copyrolysis behavior of extrudates produced from coal fines from the South African Highveld coalfield combined with recycled waste low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP). The fraction of plastic was varied between 10 and 100 wt % during extrusion. The extrudates (10 mm diameter) underwent slow pyrolysis in a modified Fischer assay setup by increasing the temperature (5 °C/min) under a nitr
