Abstract
Plastic waste gasification plays a crucial role in plastic waste management and treatment. Polyurethane foam contributed the most to global polyurethane consumption, and flexible polyurethane foam ranked first with a contribution of 31% to global polyurethane consumption. Several studies have documented plastic waste gasification. However, flexible polyurethane foam waste gasification has yet to be understood. The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the gasification process of flexible polyurethane foam waste. This study analyzed the air gasification of flexible polyurethane foam waste. It examined the effects of vital variables on the gasification performance. Lower heating value of syngas, cold gas efficiency, hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio, exergy efficiency, and normalized carbon dioxide emission were considered as the performance indicators. In air gasification, the moisture content of flexible polyurethane foam waste, equivalence ratio, and temperature were evaluated as the key variables. The gasification performance of flexible polyurethane foam waste was comprehensively studied by considering the syngas composition changes versus the variable parameters. In the air gasification of flexible polyurethane foam waste:
