Soil contamination impacts feedstock characteristics and drives pyrolysis outcomes in the conversion of polyethylene mulch films to fuel.
Recovered plastic mulch films (rMFs) are often burdened with soil contamination, limiting recycling options. While pyrolysis is a promising recycling technology, the effects of soil contamination on rMFs' properties and pyrolytic behavior remain poorly understood. This study investigated the influence of soil contamina...
