The thermolysis of 60/40 mixtures of polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) was investigated at temperatures below 440Β°C. Liquid yield from the mixture, 84.1%, was comparable to yields obtained with the individual polymers. The yields of styrene monomer, 57.1%, and a-olefins, 27.7%, increased over t

## Abstract Thermolysis and hydrogenolysis of polyethylene under steam pressure were carried out by batchwise autoclave in the recovery of liquid petrochemical resources from waste polymers. Thermolysis of polyethylene under steam pressure occurred in the temperature range 400β475Β°C and reaction pr
Thermolysis, coupled with reactive distillation, was investigated as a process to convert waste olefin-based polymers into value-added products. The degradation of two types of polyethylene, linear low and high density, was investigated. The initial molecular structure of the polymer was found to ha
