Thermal and catalytic cracking of a LDPE-EVA copolymer mixture

Catalytic cracking of a plastic mixture consisting of LDPE and EVA copolymer (86/14 w/w) over mesoporous Al-SBA-15 and Al-MCM-41 materials as well as nanocrystalline HZSM-5 zeolite (crystal size ¿ 35 nm) has been carried out in a batch reactor at 400 - 420ºC. The release of acetic acid formed from t...
