Abstract

This paper describes the pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of PVC and PP from municipal solid waste applying the non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis, the apparent activation energy and the pre-exponential factor were obtained by kinetics analysis. There is one phase in the pyrolysis of PP, which is volatile release at 281-489 °C. While, the process of PP combustion consists of one phase which is volatile release and combustion. There are two phases that are different volatile release in the pyrolysis of PVC. In the process of PVC combustion, there are two phase, the first is part of volatile release and combustion, the second is the other volatile release and fixed carbon combustion. It has been found that compensation effect exists in PP and PVC pyrolysis and combustion with the variation of oxygen concentration.
