What are the latest developments taking place in the field of plastic pyrolysis? Any new breakthroughs that can improve the process? Any new areas that everyone should explore so as to do impactful research?
This Journal should give some perspective: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-analytical-and-applied-pyrolysis, i.e. the Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis.
Reviews appear to be emerging, there seem to be some articles focused on high value product production, such as carbon nanotubes.
Dear G. Kailas,
The best way to go about it is to carry out an extensive review of the literature using one of many databases such as Web of Science (www.webofknowledge.com) or Scopus (https://www.scopus.com/search/form.uri?display=basic). This should be followed by an extensive analysis of the developments using Biobliometric Analysis software such as VOSViewer (https://www.vosviewer.com/) or CiteSpace Software. Based on the results you will be able to track developments and identify an innovative area to focus on for impactful research. Hope this helps.
Regards,
BBN.
Here is a story about circular economy and plastic recycling, it involves Nexus Fuels LLC producing pyrolysis liquids utilized by Shell to make plastics:
