Article Synopsis
  • The pyrolysis of municipal solid waste (MSW) is being studied as an effective way to minimize pollutants and produce valuable materials.
  • Research indicates that the formation of harmful compounds known as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) peaks at around 750 °C during pyrolysis before decreasing, with the majority found in liquid and gas byproducts.
  • Compared to incineration, pyrolysis produces significantly fewer PCDD/Fs (7-20 times less), due to its unique atmosphere that limits certain reactions and the use of additives like CaO that further reduce harmful chlorine compounds.
