Morphology Development During Processing of Recycled Polymers

  • Chapter
Frontiers in the Science and Technology of Polymer Recycling

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 351))

Abstract

Plastics waste is found in refuse from industry and household. Its state varies from one source to the next. The scrap from polymer processing is often clean, whereas that from the building sites or municipal waste streams usually is contaminated. Depending on the type of waste and the technological possibilities, four methods of utilization of plastics waste are distinguished:

  1. 1.

    Mechanical recycling (re-melting)

  2. 2.

    Chemical recycling (decomposition into raw materials by solvolysis, hydrogenation, thermolysis, etc.)

  3. 3.

    Energy recovery (pyrolysis)

  4. 4.

    Use in blast furnace as a carbon donor
