Book excerpt: The pyrolyzation of waste plastic and lignocellulosic material feedstocks increases the hydrogen/carbon ratio of the plastic-biomass mixture for feedstock pyrolysis and may be advantageous for the refinement of the properties of the pyrolyzed oil, which can be directly used as fuel without any upgrade requirements by catalytic hydrodeoxygenation reactions. In this paper, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and brown salwood were tested in a custom-built laboratory-scale fixed-bed reactor to investigate the co-pyrolysis reaction at a temperature ranging from 500 to 650 °C, nitrogen sweeping flow rate ranging from 40 to 160 mL min -1 , and HDPE to biomass ratio ranging from 0.1 to 0.9. The results reveal that the temperature mostly influences the pyrolysis products, whereas increasing the temperature to 600 °C encourages pyrolysis oil production, and its yield reaches 48.13 wt.%, which decreases to 27.92 wt.% as the reaction temperature increases to 650 °C due to secondary cracking reactions producing noncondensable gas rich in hydrocarbons. Physicochemical analysis of the pyrolyzed organic phase revealed a gross calorific heating value up to approximately 38.19 MJ kg -1 . Additionally, co-pyrolysis with HDPE improved the production of furans, and acid derivatives were obtained in the aqueous fraction via the thermal conversion of hemicellulose and lignin, whereas the obtained char exhibited a notably low surface area and few superficial micropores.
