About This Topic
In recent times, catalytic pyrolysis has become a promising thermochemical process for biomass, plastics, and other organic waste conversion into valuable fuel and chemical additives. This special issue focuses on the synthesis or development of catalysts suitable for pyrolysis, the reaction mechanisms, nanoparticles suitable for catalysts, green synthesis of catalysts, process optimisation using catalysts, catalyst effect on activation energy, thermal degradation kinetics and environmental sustainability applications. The special issue also welcomes review articles on novel catalysts, reactor designs, kinetic modelling, and life cycle assessments. Particularly encouraged are contributions on scalability, techno-economic feasibility and industrial applications.
Keywords
Catalytic pyrolysis; plastic waste conversion; biomass conversion; waste to sustainable energy; reaction mechanism; green synthesis
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.
