BTX yield reached 41.1% during co-pyrolysis of wheat straw and polystyrene with an HZSM-5 catalyst, confirming the synergistic effect.
The study shows a significant increase in monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons yield from 7.8% to 30.3% due to the synergistic interaction between the materials.
Catalytic conditions included a specific ratio of wheat straw to polystyrene at 60:40 and elevated temperatures to optimize aromatic production.
Findings highlight potential for valuable resource recovery from agricultural and plastic waste through innovative pyrolysis methods.
