Sustainable Hydrogen Production from Plastic Waste: Optimizing Pyrolysis for a Circular Economy by Fiyinfoluwa Joan Medaiyese, Hamid Reza Nasriani, Khalid Khan, Leila Khajenoori

“…Hydrogen yield optimization is achieved through the integration of two water–gas shift reactors and a pressure swing adsorption unit, enabling hydrogen production rates of up to 31.85 kmol/h (64.21 kg/h) from 300 kg/h of mixed plastic wastes, consisting of 100 kg/h each of HDPE, PP, and PS. Key process parameters were evaluated, revealing that increasing reforming temperature from 500 °C to 1000 °C boosts hydrogen yield by 83.53%, although gains beyond 700 °C are minimal. …”
