Slow Pyrolysis vs Gasification : mass and

energy balances using a predictive model

C.G. Jung and A. Fontana

When the recovery of mixed plastics is not economically viable, the main issue
today is land filling or incineration. The present study shows the opportunities in
producing gaseous or liquid substitution fuels by pyrolysis or gasification. By both
processes, the issued fuels characteristics are quite different so that the
application fields have to be optimized. If plastics are mixed with other waste,
sorting could be too expensive. Using our predictive model, pyrolysis mass
balance could be evaluated so that the fuels qualities could be predicted.

JEL Classifications:
Keywords: pyrolysis, gasification, mass balance, energy balance, waste plastics,
substitution fuels
