The conversion of waste streams into a useable material through a recycling process is a hot topic. Waste plastics are converted in pyrolysis oil and used as cracker feedstock. Known analysis methods like PIONA and DHA can analyse up to C14, while pyrolysis oils range from C4-C32. Hence new methodology is required to fully characterise the hydrocarbon composition. The standardised GC-VUV method for PIONA was therefore extended to include the quantification of pyrolysis oils.
