Notes:
An account of the occurrence of pyrolyzable material and the state of development of pyrolysis processes in the USA and Japan is followed by a description of laboratory and pilot-scale experiments designed to exploit the raw material content of pyrolyzable substances rather than the heating value. Plastic waste and scrap tires can be pyrolyzed to give up to 40% by weight of aromatic compounds in fluidized sand beds which are surprisingly insensitive to the unit size of the feed material.
