Feedstock Recycling of Plastics

Feedstock Recycling of Plastics gives a survey of actual fundamental and applied research. It consists of selected contributions that were presented during the Third International Symposium on Feedstock Recycling of Plastics & other Innovative Plastics Recycling Techniques in Karlsruhe (Germany), 2005. The following fundamental issues of feedstock recycling are covered: – Pyrolysis or solvolysis – Pyrolysis: Processes – Strategies – Usages – Modelling – Pyrolysis/Solvolysis of halogen containing plastics or plastic mixtures – Thermal degradation/Solvolysis under unconventional conditions or catalytically enforced – Synthesis gas production by means of gasification or of partial oxidation – Energy derived from plastics, rubber, and other high caloric waste streams – Innovative techniques in mechanical recycling – Studies and experiences with logistic and economic factors – Developing suitable outlets for materials and products obtained – Life Cycle Assessment and Risk Management in plastic recycling
