Study on pyrolysis characteristics of refuse plastic fuel using lab-scale tube furnace and thermogravimetric analysis reactor

► The product yields of liquid, solid, and gas were obtained for RPF pyrolysis. ► The gas compositions and liquid compounds were analyzed using GC and GC-MSD. ► Thermal characteristics for RPF, PS, PVC, PP, and LDPE were analyzed using TGA. ► Kinetic parameters for RPF, PS, PP, LDPE, and PVC were obtained.
