ChemRec II – Thermochemical Recycling of Plastics

Session Descriptions

  1. Characterization and pretreatment of plastic waste feedstocks (e.g., for contaminants removal).
  2. Fundamentals of pyrolysis, liquefaction, gasification and catalytic depolymerization technologies (reaction mechanisms, reaction kinetics, product selectivity, effects of heat and mass transfer limitations, catalysis).
  3. Reactor development and modelling (testing and modelling of lab-scale units)
  4. Process development and integration (testing of fully continuous laboratory setups and pilot installations providing a full mass balance closure, including pre-treatment, reaction and product separation).
  5. Product characterization, separation and upgrading (refers to chemical characterization, isolation, purification and post treatment / upgrading of the products from pyrolysis or liquefaction to e.g., remove contaminants/impurities.
  6. Successful demonstration, scale-up and commercialization

  • New Entry/Exit System for European Union

    The European Union (EU) has introduced a new entry/exit system for travel into and out of the Schengen area that will use biometrics and facial recognition for border crossings. It replaces the manual passport-stamp system with electronic registration of entries, exits and refusals. As it is rolled in, there may be delays as biometric data is collected.
