Abstract

This paper summarizes the results of laboratory experiments of the gasification process of waste polymers, with particular focus on monitoring the quantity and character of the resulting solid, liquid and gaseous products . Input materials such as tires, PC components, CDs, and tire mixtures with HDPE and PET were selected. The gaseous products were analyzed by gas chromatography, which were monitored following components: methane, ethylene, propa ne, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen. From the analysed gaseous components relative net calorific value of gas was calculated, which reached up to 5 MJ.m -3. The solid product produced during gasification was submited to determinati on of sorption capacity through the iodine adsorption number. The resulting liquid product was subjected to analysis, where it was determined water content, calor ific value, net calorific va lue, elemental analysis and representation of individual organic components in the condensate.
