"From household waste to pyrolysis feedstock: contaminants and pretreatment"
Kevin Van Geem
Ghent University, Belgium
Session Descriptions
- Characterization and pretreatment of plastic waste feedstocks (e.g., for contaminants removal).
- Fundamentals of pyrolysis, liquefaction, gasification and catalytic depolymerization technologies (reaction mechanisms, reaction kinetics, product selectivity, effects of heat and mass transfer limitations, catalysis).
- Reactor development and modelling (testing and modelling of lab-scale units)
- Process development and integration (testing of fully continuous laboratory setups and pilot installations providing a full mass balance closure, including pre-treatment, reaction and product separation).
- Product characterization, separation and upgrading (refers to chemical characterization, isolation, purification and post treatment / upgrading of the products from pyrolysis or liquefaction to e.g., remove contaminants/impurities.
- Successful demonstration, scale-up and commercialization

Oral Presenter Guidelines
When it comes to PowerPoint, “less is more” is a rule that helps your presentation shine… No more than 6 words per line and no more than 6 lines per slide. Keep your slides clean and use 18-30 pt. font to list key points. Click here for more tips and tricks for your oral presentation.
Poster Guidelines
The best posters display a succinct statement of major conclusions at the beginning, followed by supporting text in later segments and a brief summary at the end. Click here for instructions and more information.
Poster Size: 1.5 meters (L) x 1.0 meter (W) - Portrait style.
