Web Seminar: Challenges and Solutions for Metal Analysis of Pyrolysis Oil and Plastic Waste Chemical Recycling of Plastics

Content and goals of the Web Seminar

Duration: ~30 min
Language: English

Chemical recycling holds great potential as it converts end-of-life plastic back into virgin-grade plastic of any type and color. An intermediate product in this process is pyrolysis oil. Before pyrolysis oil can be introduced into a refinery or a steam cracker for further processing, it must comply with specified limits for heteroatoms and metals. The presence of metals, in particular, can otherwise lead to the poisoning of expensive catalysts. How badly pyrolysis oil is contaminated will directly depend on the composition of the plastic waste from which it originated. As no single batch of processed waste equals the next, every batch of pyrolysis oil needs to be analyzed for metals.

Join our web seminar to learn how to analyze metals in pyrolysis oil rapidly and comprehensively with the help of ICP-OES (optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma). Although ICP-OES is by far the best suited technique for this analytical task, it is essential that the analyzer can deal with the challenges posed by highly organic samples such as pyrolysis oil.

This web seminar will highlight:

  • How to achieve a measurement range from sub-ppb to %
  • How to analyze highly organic samples with no or little sample preparation
  • How to achieve signal stability over the entire workday
  • How to significantly save on argon gas
