Part 1: Plastics and Plastic Solid Waste (PSW)1. Introduction2. Major Technologies Implemented for Chemicals and Fuel Recovery3. Energy Production from Plastic Solid Waste (PSW)4. The Sustainability Challenge in the Context of Polymer Degradation Part II: Products Recovery From Plastics5. Feedstock and Optimal Operation for Plastics to Fuel Conversion in Pyrolysis6. Catalytic Conversion and Chemical Recovery7. Fuel Properties Associated with Catalytic Conversion of Plastics8. Design and Limitations in Polymer Cracking Fluidised Beds for Energy Recovery)9. Kinetic Studies Related to Polymer Degradation and Stability10. Gasification of Plastic Solid Waste and Competitive Technologies11. The Valorisation of Plastic via Thermal Means: Industrial Scale Combustion Methods12. Emissions and Environmental Burdens Associated with Plastic Solid Waste Management Part III: Sustainable Implications13. From Waste to Resources: How to Integrate Recycling into the Production Cycle of Plastics14. Bio-Plastics: Is It The Way In Future Developments For End Users? A note on dissolution of waste polymers in Bio-Fuels15. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in Municipal Waste Decision Making16. Can Biodegradation Solve Plastic Waste Accumulation?17. Optimization Frameworks in Resource Management and Process Engineering18. Waste from Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE)19. The role of biodegradation in solving plastic solid waste accumulation20. Research and Development (R&D) Strategies: The Way Forward as we See it
Summary: Plastics to Energy: Fuel, Chemicals, and Sustainability Implications covers important trends in the science and technology of polymer recovery, such as the thermo-chemical treatment of plastics, the impact of environmental degradation on mechanical recycling, incineration and thermal unit design, and new options in biodegradable plastics. The book also introduces product development opportunities from waste materials and discusses the main processes and pathways of the conversion of polymeric materials to energy, fuel and chemicals. A particular focus is placed on industrial case studies and academic reviews, providing a practical emphasis that enables plastics practitioners involved in end-of-life aspects to employ these processes. Final sections examine lifecycle and cost analysis of different plastic waste management processes, exploring the potential of various techniques in modelling, optimization and simulation of waste management options
