Abstract


Aseptic packaging waste (APW) is one of the waste that was made from multi-layers of materials causing difficult processing. In here double reactor microwave pyrolysis is proposed to treat the waste. Activated carbon as absorber and natural zeolite (NZ) as catalyst were used on the process. The microwave output power and the catalytic temperature had an important influence in this study: the yield of gas production increased from 14% to 65% at the uncatalyzed process as the microwave output power increased from 300 W to 800 W. When the NZ was used, the yield of gas increased from 47% to 58% at 600 W as the catalytic temperature increased from uncatalyzed process to 500oC of catalytic reactor temperature. A larger amount of syngas (H2+CO2) was produced as microwave output power and catalytic temperature increased. The optimum condition to microwave pyrolysis of APW using natural zeolite as catalyst and activated carbon as absorber are 450oC of catalytic reactor temperature and 800 W of the microwave output power.
