Feedstock recycling of plastics

Feedstock Recycling of Plastics gives a survey of actual fundamental and applied research. It consists of selected contributions that were presented during the Third International Symposium on Feedstock Recycling of Plastics & other Innovative Plastics Recycling Techniques in Karlsruhe (Germany), 2005. The following fundamental issues of feedstock recycling are covered: - Pyrolysis or solvolysis - Pyrolysis: Processes - Strategies - Usages - Modelling - Pyrolysis/Solvolysis of halogen containing plastics or plastic mixtures - Thermal degradation/Solvolysis under unconventional conditions or catalytically enforced - Synthesis gas production by means of gasification or of partial oxidation - Energy derived from plastics, rubber, and other high caloric waste streams - Innovative techniques in mechanical recycling - Studies and experiences with logistic and economic factors - Developing suitable outlets for materials and products obtained - Life Cycle Assessment and Risk Management in plastic recycling
