In a circular economy perspective, solid plastic wastes (SPW) are valuable source of chemicals, energy vectors and fuels. Chemical recycling through pyrolysis, gasification, partial oxidation promising alternatives to incineration landfill disposal, allowing efficient exploitation SPW. Modelling the combustion gasification both at particle reactor scale requires first definition suitable condensed phase pyrolysis mechanisms for each constituent. This work proposes semi-detailed kinetic model...
Pyrolysis of solid fuels forms a carbon-rich fuel, also called char, whose physico-chemical description is rather complex. Heterogeneous oxidation reactions take place during thermochemical conversion char. The present work proposes predictive detailed kinetic model, opening new path for deeper understanding the char process. This model considers porosity, surface area, density sites, and their evolution along chemical aspects are modeled assuming carbonaceous bulk structure, surrounded by...
Hydrogen abstraction is one of the crucial initial key steps in combustion polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. For an accurate theoretical prediction heterogeneous processes, larger systems need to be treated as compared pure gas phase reactions. We address here question on how transferable activation and reaction energies computed for small molecular models are polyaromatics. The approximate transferability energy contributions a assumption multiscale modeling approaches. To identify...
