Article Synopsis
- - Disposing of non-biodegradable waste like polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) creates global environmental and economic challenges, prompting the need for innovative recycling solutions.
- - This study focuses on using discarded PVDF ultrafiltration membranes to produce char through optimized pyrolysis, achieving a yield of 31.3% with a specific iodine number that indicates high carbon quality.
- - Various analyses confirmed the breakdown of fluorinated bonds and identified beneficial crystalline structures in the PVDF, suggesting that the resulting char has significant potential for industrial and environmental applications within a circular economy framework.
