Co-pyrolysis characteristics of kitchen waste (KW) with tire waste (TW) were studied by TGA-FTIR and Py-GC/MS. The kinetic parameters were calculated by Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) and the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods. TGA-FTIR results indicated that CO, CO, NO, NH, SO, CH and CC groups were the main gases released from the pyrolysis process, finding that a certain coupling synergistic interaction occurred between KW and TW.

The microwave-assisted fast co-pyrolysis of chlorella and tire with additive under N and CO atmospheres were investigated. The pyrolysis profiles, yields of three-phase, the chemical composition of liquid and the ultimate analyses of solid residues were gained. With the tire ratio increasing, all the characters had the changes.

In this study, the kinetic models of bagasse, sewage sludge and their mixture were established by the multiple normal distributed activation energy model. Blending with sewage sludge, the initial temperature declined from 437 K to 418 K. The pyrolytic species could be divided into five categories, including analogous hemicelluloses I, hemicelluloses II, cellulose, lignin and bio-char.

In this study, the influences of ultrasonic pretreatment factors (frequency, power, treatment time) on blends of municipal solid waste (MSW) and paper sludge (PS) with additive (MgO) was explored, through orthogonal experiments design. The optimum operating condition wanted to be acquired. However, for the ultimate (H/C) and ash analysis after pretreatment, solid residue mass and oxygenates compounds contents in products, the influences of factors were in different results.
