- This study explored how mixing wood sawdust (WSD) with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) affects their thermal degradation during co-pyrolysis, revealing that the LW1:3 blend (25 wt.% LLDPE) loses mass at lower temperatures compared to the individual materials.
- Various reaction mechanisms and kinetic parameters were analyzed, showing that the LW1:3 blend had the highest drop in activation energy, indicating it reacts more easily under pyrolysis conditions.
- The thermodynamic analysis confirms that adding a small amount of plastic to WSD enhances reactivity and reduces the energy required for the process, making the co-pyrolysis more efficient and beneficial for reactor design.
