Summary

This chemistry paper describes copolymerization of industrial organochlorine waste with wood pyrolysis products to create bitumen compositions. This is an industrial waste valorization and polymer chemistry paper with no direct connection to environmental microplastics.

The work presents a new approach to the copolymerization and co-processing of industrial organochlorine waste (OCW) resulted in the production of vinyl chloride at Karpatnaftochim LLC, Kalush, Ukraine, and liquid wood pyrolysis products (LWPP) generated by the activated charcoal production at Perechyn Forestry and Chemical Plant, LLC. Kalush, Ukraine. This article highlights studies of the composition of the raw materials and the properties of the resulting products. Through the use of infrared spectroscopy and DTA analysis, the primary structure and properties of copolymers, oligomers, asphalt and bitumen products obtained from OCW and LWPP were determined. It describes the trial of the liquid products of wood pyrolysis in bitumen compositions with OCW.

Solid Wastes Toward Flame Retardants for Polymeric Materials: A Review

This review examines how industrial waste materials can be repurposed as flame retardants in plastic products, reducing reliance on toxic chemicals while also diverting solid waste. Improving plastic durability through better flame retardancy can reduce the rate at which plastics degrade into microplastics.
