New Guide for Plastic Waste Pyrolysis Oil Analyses
1. Scope
1.1 The guide summarizes the currently available tests and analyses to evaluate pyrolysis oil. The guide covers the foundational critical parameters, including composition, physical properties, and contaminants.
1.1.1 The composition of pyrolysis oil provides identification and quantification of the different chemical components present in the pyrolysis oil, such as hydrocarbons, oxygenates, and impurities.
1.1.2 Physical property analyses measure parameters which play a crucial role in determining the oil's handling, safety, and application properties.
1.1.3 Contaminants include harmful substances that might be present in pyrolysis oils.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers (TBT) Committee.
