A Preliminary Study on the Use of Highly Aromatic Pyrolysis Oils Coming from Plastic Waste as Alternative Liquid Fuels
Asueta, Asier; Fulgencio-Medrano, Laura; Miguel-Fernández, Rafael; Leivar, Jon; Amundarain, Izotz; Iruskieta, Ana; Arnaiz, Sixto; Gutiérrez Ortiz, José Ignacio; López Urionabarrenechea, Alexander (MDPI, 2023-09-20)In this work, the low-temperature pyrolysis of a real plastic mixture sample collected at a WEEE-authorised recycling facility has been investigated. The sample was pyrolysed in a batch reactor in different temperature and ... -
Chemical recycling of monolayer PET tray waste by alkaline hydrolysis
Barredo, Asier; Asueta, Asier; Amundarain, Izotz; Leivar, Jon; Miguel-Fernández, Rafael; Arnaiz, Sixto; Epelde Bejerano, Eva; López Fonseca, Rubén ; Gutiérrez Ortiz, José Ignacio (Elsevier, 2023-03-31)The high demand for recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) driven by an increase in environmental awareness, the application of more restrictive environmental legislations, together with the large increase in the ... -
Improving the Sustainability of Catalytic Glycolysis of Complex PET Waste through Bio-Solvolysis
Amundarain, Izotz; López Montenegro, Sheila; Fulgencio Medrano, Laura; Leivar, Jon; Iruskieta, Ana; Asueta, Asier; Miguel Fernández, Rafael; Arnaiz, Sixto; Pereda Ayo, Beñat (MDPI, 2024-01-02)This work addresses a novel bio-solvolysis process for the treatment of complex poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste using a biobased monoethylene glycol (BioMEG) as a depolymerization agent in order to achieve a more ... -
Viability of Glycolysis for the Chemical Recycling of Highly Coloured and Multi-Layered Actual PET Wastes
Asueta, Asier; Arnaiz, Sixto; Miguel-Fernández, Rafael; Leivar, Jon; Amundarain, Izotz; Aramburu, Borja; Gutiérrez Ortiz, José Ignacio ; López Fonseca, Rubén (MDPI, 2023-10-23)The chemical recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) –PET– fractions, derived from actual household packaging waste streams, using solvolysis, was investigated. This recycling strategy was applied after a previous on-line ...
