Abstract
In this work, typical organic food waste (soybean protein (SP)) and typical chlorine enriched plastic waste (polyvinyl chloride (PVC)) were chosen as principal MSW components and their interaction during co-pyrolysis was investigated. Results indicate that the interaction accelerated the reaction during co-pyrolysis. The activation energies needed were 2–13% lower for the decomposition of mixture compared with linear calculation while the maximum reaction rates were 12–16% higher than calculation. In the fixed-bed experiments, interaction was observed to reduce the yield of tar by 2–69% and promote the yield of char by 13–39% compared with linear calculation. In addition, 2–6 times more heavy components and 61–93% less nitrogen-containing components were formed for tar derived from mixtures.
