Abstract
Abstract
The article provides a theoretical analysis of the pyrolysis of polymer waste. The main products of pyrolysis are considered. The thermal degradation of polymers was studied depending on the composition of the materials. The main factors affecting the product distribution of pyrolysis of waste plastics are determined. Gaseous medium in the pyrolysis chamber plays a significant role in the process. The operating conditions of the pyrolyser are considered. The use of pyrolysis makes it possible to significantly reduce the amount of solid waste and increase energy savings without harming the environment and human health.
