The utilization of polymer containing wastes by the method of their catolytic pyrolysis with peat

The article is dedicated to the problem of polymer containing waste utilization by the method of their catalytic pyrolysis with peat as the result of which new types of chemical raw or fuel of more higher quality with maximum high burning warmth are obtained. One of the main factors determines the conversion depth of the given process is the use of the catalysts of hydrocarbon raw decomposition, which are the salts of iron subgroups metals.
It is established that significant increase in the depth of organic substance conversion expressed in decrease in the balance of cock-ash residue content up to 25 % of organic material has been found in stationary layer during the pyrolysis of peat polymeric compositions during catalysts presence (cobalt, manganese, iron salts).
Products contained in gaseous and liquid fractions are more energy intensive in the result of the catalytic pyrolysis of peat polymeric compositions. Polymer addition during catalyst presence leads to an increase in their heating value. Then an increase in pyrolysis gas calorific value rises in 1.5-2 times during the thermo chemical destruction of peat polymeric systems in samples containing up to 20 % by the mass of polymeric waste.
