Abstract
Catalytic effects of activated carbon on the degradation of polyethylene were investigated. Activated carbon was highly effective for the formation of normal alkanes (C1–C5 fractions) and aromatics (C6–C8). Experimental results were explained in terms of high cracking and cyclization activities of the catalyst.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
