Determination of Fuel Properties of Char Obtained during the Pyrolysis of Waste Pharmaceutical Blisters

The research presented in this manuscript is focused on the pyrolysis of waste pharmaceutical blisters, which are a large and neglected group waste, that could be possibly recovered. studies were analysis chemical composition, as well fuel properties char generated during process its possible applications. temperatures (400, 425, 450 °C) determined based thermogravimetric study was performed prior to tests. selected materials included pre- post-consumer blisters order determine influence impurities final products. tests laboratory scale fixed bed reactor. obtained solid fractions (metal char) separated. Char subjected elemental (C, H, N, Cl, S), heat combustion fuel-related (content flammable, non-flammable, volatile components) determined. results used compare active carbon. market potential analyzed.
