Pyrolysis study of a waste plastic mixture through different kinetic models using isothermal and nonisothermal mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Pyrolysis can be a convenient way to produce oils and gases simultaneously, as well as hydrocarbons and even crude petrochemicals. It can also be used to produce energy from a waste plastic mixture (WPM). To ascertain the kinetics parameters at the heating rates of 5, 10, 20, and 50 °C min^-1, various kinetic models, including (a) model-fitting and (b) model-free, which are further separated into isothermal and non-isothermal categories, have been selected. The apparent activation energy (E _a) and pre-exponential factor (A _a) were calculated using the Friedman (model-free isothermal), KAS, FWO (model-free non-isothermal), and Coats-Redfern (model-fitting non-isothermal) approaches. The activation energy (E _a), pre-exponential
