Abstract
Catalytic pyrolysis (CP) of waste plastic film over mesoporous catalyst, Al-MSU-F, was investigated using polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as the model plastic resins. Thermogravimetric analysis of PS and PET indicated that their decomposition temperatures were shifted to the much lower temperature owing to the high diffusion ability of reactant into mesopore of Al-MSU-F. Py-GC/MS analysis for the CP of PS and PET revealed that the large amount of aromatics can be obtained by the use of Al-MSU-F and it was further increased by using the higher catalyst/polymer ratio. CP products of PET over Al-MSU-F showed the high selectivity to mono aromatic hydrocarbons. Meanwhile, those of PS revealed the high selectivity to poly aromatics.
