Influence of Zeolite NaA on Thermogravimetric Behavior of Sodium Alginate for the Purpose of Processing Plastic Wastes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermogravimetric behavior of sodium alginate with incorporation of zeolite 4A has been studied. The experiments were performed at air flow rate of 30 ml/min, under heating rates of 5 ~ 30 K/min and up to 1250 K. Kinetic parameters for the main degradation phase thus were estimated by using the pseudo first-order assumption. The results have shown that the introduced zeolite as well as its content has obviously affected thermal properties of sodium alginate.
