BASF Technology Removes Pyrolysis Oil Contaminants

BASF has introduced products for the purification of complex pyrolysis oils from plastics waste – though also with potential applications in tire recycling.

The Gerrnan group’s PuriCycle catalysts and adsorbents selectively remove or convert contaminants in the oils that occur as secondary raw materials in chemical plastics recycling.

The products, said BASF, enable closed-loop, downstream processing of platics, helping recyclers to meet industry standards for the composition of pyrolysis oils. …
