Hydrocarbon Type Analysis Of Waste Plastic Process Oil Using GC-VUV
The chemical composition of waste plastics process oil (WPPO) is an important indicator of process performance and product quality in plastic recycling. The proportions of saturates, olefins, styrenes and aromatic hydrocarbons provide valuable information for optimisation of pyrolysis and depolymerisation processes and for evaluating the suitability of WPPO as feedstock for downstream refining or chemical production. ASTM D8519 introduces a modern GC-VUV method that combines gas chromatography with vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy to identify and quantify hydrocarbon classes, even when chromatographic peaks overlap.
