Plastic residue to carbon fibres and hydrogen

The PhD is situated in the PREFER project. PREFER will develop an all-encompassing recycling concept, fitting into existing refineries. This concept will enable the recycling of plastics that to this day are unrecyclable, both from the blue waste bag and from other plastic waste flows. This PhD focusses on the residue converter that should produce high quality carbon nanotubes and hydrogen via a combination of pyrolisis and acid and carbonization catalysis.
