Comparison of oil produce from co-pyrolysis and catalytic co-pyrolysis of empty fruit bunch and waste tyre / Nurhayati Zainal Abidin

Co-pyrolysis was discovered as a new technology to dispose solid waste with valuable yield. The main product that produced from co-pyrolysis is liquid oil, char and gas. In this study the co-pyrolysis process was done to breaking down the molecular structure of these wastes under conditions of moder...
