PVC Waste to Fuel: Pyrolysis Oil Upgrading through Catalytic Hydrodechlorination
narrowed the gap in HDC performance compared to 5%Pd/C. The HDC of the PVC pyrolysis oil followed a trend similar to that of the model compounds, with overall chlorine removal efficiencies of 82-89% under optimized conditions. These findings highlight the potential of Pd-based catalysts to reduce chlorine content in PVC pyrolysis oil, thereby enabling its use in cleaner fuel production.
