Abstract
The properties of biopolymers including thermoplastics, polypropylene (PP) and a natural fiber-reinforced polymer with a high PP content and maleic anhydride adhesion promoter were reported. The combustion simulation was based on a laboratory method that uses a VCI test rig, combustion gas sample collection by adsorption /solvent desorption and GC/MS analysis of the desorbates. The combustion products of a material varied according to its chemical composition and depending on the combustion temperature. The composition of the combustion gases has a high proportion of corresponding monomers, oligomers and chain fragments that have been partially oxidized to aldehydes and ketones. The substance spectrum from the combustion of PP at 800°C is dominated in terms of numerical frequency by aromatic hydrocarbons. The comparison between heating values shows that the biopolymers are without exception suitable for thermal recycling since their heating values are at the very least of a similar order of magnitude to wood.
