Due to a huge increase in polymer production, a tremendous increase in municipal solid waste is observed. Every year the existing landfills for disposal of waste polymers decrease and the effective recycling techniques for waste polymers are getting more and more important. In this work pyrolysis of waste polystyrene was performed in the presence of a laboratory synthesized copper oxide. The samples were pyrolyzed at different heating rates that is, 5°Cmin−1, 10°Cmin−1, 15°Cmin−1 and 20°Cmin−1 in a thermogravimetric analyzer in inert atmosphere using nitrogen. Thermogravimetric data were interpreted using various model fitting (Coats–Redfern) and model free methods (Ozawa–Flynn–Wall, Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose and Friedman). Thermodynamic parameters for the reaction were also determined. The activation energy calculated applying Coats–Redfern, Ozawa–Flynn–Wall, Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose and Friedman models were found in the ranges 105–148.48 kJmol−1, 99.41–140.52 kJmol−1, 103.67–149.15 kJmol−1 and 99.93–141.25 kJmol−1, respectively. The lowest activation energy for polystyrene degradation in the presence of copper oxide indicates the suitability of catalyst for the decomposition reaction to take place at lower temperature. Moreover, the obtained kinetics and thermodynamic parameters would be very helpful in determining the reaction mechanism of the solid waste in a real system.

AbstractImpedance spectra (5Hz ‐ 13MHz) were collected during the solid state reaction of Yba2Cu2O6+y from large monosized CuO particles imbedded in a finely divided Y2 O3 /BaCO3 matrix. No particle size effect was observed, but a large temperature effect was observed corresponding to an activation energy of approximately 1.8eV (175kJ/mol) over the range 700‐900°C.

CuMn2O4 was synthesized by the solid-state method. MnO2 and CuO were used as precursors. The optimum temperature of synthesis was 850°C. XRD results showed that the prepared compound had a cubic structure with Fd3 ̅m space group. The lattice constant and unit cell volume were a=8.359Å and V=584.14A°3 respectively. The grain size was calculated by the Debye-Scherrer method and was 33.49 nm for CuMn2O4 annealed at 850°C. The experimental density was calculated and compared to the theoretical density. The results were ρt= 5.399 gr/cm3 and ρE = 5.24 gr/cm3. The electrical properties of the compound showed that it behaves like a semiconductor, and the activation energy of the compound was 0.1535 eV.
