TI  - Catalytic degradation of high density polyethylene using zeolites.
PG  - 163-75
AB  - Plastic wastes, which cause a serious environmental problem in urban areas, can 
      serve as sources of energy. Catalytic treatment of High Density Polyethylene 
      (HDPE) has shown that the degradation of HDPE resulted in the production of a 
      stream of gaseous hydrocarbons varied in the range C1-C8. The degradation was 
      carried out using diluted forms of zeolites ZSM-5, USY and Mordenite (MORD) using 
      a fluidized bed reactor (FBR). Effect of coke formation on the activity of the 
      catalysts was screened by thermogravimetric (TGA). ZSM-5 showed a significant 
      resistance to deactivation because of the nature of its small pore size compared 
      with USY and MORD.
