Value Pathways for Pyrolysis Naphtha and Non-Standard Diesel

2026-07-012026-05-31

Pyrolysis technology transforms difficult-to-recycle solid wastes — such as waste plastics and waste tyres — into liquid oil products. As a result, the global waste recycling industry is paying increasing attention to this approach. However, raw pyrolysis oil is not a uniform product. Instead, it is a mixed hydrocarbon liquid with a wide boiling range and complex composition. Through distillation, …

The Role of Biochar in Metal Smelting Industry

2026-05-072026-04-18
