Abstract

The main components of municipal solid waste (MSW) include food waste (FW) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which present an opportunity to convert energy or value-added products through low-temperature synergetic pyrolysis. In this study, the characteristics of char and bio-oil derived from MSW, FW and PVC feedstocks via pyrolysis at relatively low temperatures (200–300 °C) for 60 min were investigated. The results revealed that the transformation of PVC to HCl gas production started at a temperature of ＞ 200 °C. The oxygenated carbon groups on the char surface were decomposed at elevated reaction temperatures. The relative molecular mass of bio-oil derived from FW increased when PVC-derived char was used as a catalyst at 250 °C. In addition, active functional groups and pore structures were formed through synergistic pyrolysis. This work provides information regarding the possible route underlying the network of char and bio-oil production from the synergistic conversion of FW and PVC-derived char.
