Abstract

This study investigated the interaction between the furfural residue and polyvinyl chloride co-pyrolysis using an infrared heating method. Various analytical techniques including production distribution analysis, thermal behavior, pyrolysis kinetic, simulated distillation and gas chromatography-mass spectrography (GCMS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were utilized to elucidate the pyrolysis characterization and reaction mechanism during the co-pyrolysis. Initially, the yield of co-pyrolysis oil increased from 35.12% at 5 °C·s^–1 to 37.70% at 10 °C·s^–1, but then decreased to 32.07% at 20 °C·s^–1. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters suggested non-spontaneous and endothermic behaviors. GCMS analysis revealed that aromatic hydrocarbons, especially mono- and bi-cyclic ones, are the predominant compounds in the oil due to the presence of H radicals in polyvinyl chloride, suggesting an enhancement in oil quality. Meanwhile, the fixed chlorine content increased to 65.11% after co-pyrolysis due to the interaction between inorganic salts in furfural residues and chlorine from polyvinyl chloride.
