A multi-purpose pilot-scale molten metal & molten salt pyrolysis reactor

Munster Technological University

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper describes the design features and operational details of a molten metal pyrolysis reactor. Such a reactor allows pyrolysis experimentation on biomass, aluminium-laminated plastics, mixed plastics, carbon fibre materials, etc. Experimental results on biodegradable plastic, carbon fibre composites, biomass and printed circuit boards (PCBs) are presented. • The inner container can have a sloped or flat-bottom depending on the material. • The method can be used to pyrolyse composite and pure materials.
