Product distribution from microwave-assisted co-pyrolysis of rice husk and LDPE and characterization of Fe/Beta catalyst for pyrolysis

The liquid products were analyzed by GC-MS.The pyrolysis gas products were analyzed by GC-FID/TCD.The morphology of the catalyst was examined using a Sigma 300 scanning electron microscope.The crystal structure of the catalyst samples was characterized by a Bruker D8 ADVANCE X-ray diffractometer.The surface chemical valence states and electronic properties of the catalyst samples were analyzed using a Kratos AXIS Ultra DLD X-ray photoelectron spectrometer.The acidity of the catalyst was qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by detecting the infrared spectra of pyridine-adsorbed catalysts using an FTIR-650 spectrometer.
