Study of Polyolefines Waste Thermo-Destruction in Large Laboratory and in Industrial Installations

Polymer materials packagings are quickly deposited in dumps due to the short life time as a useable product. Recycling of polymer waste, mainly polyolefines, which constitute 60% of them, on the technological lines operating according to the Polish technology seems to be a long-term solution. According to this technology, the used polymers after melting flow down to the reactor, where they undergo thermal degradation in the presence of catalyst. A product which can be processed in refineries for fuel is obtained. The studies leading to the improvement of the properties of the obtained product are still conducted.
