Microwave-induced pyrolysis of waste automotive oil

This dissertation describes the development and analysis of the use of microwave heating to power a pyrolysis process (termed “microwave pyrolysis”) for the recycling of used automobile engine oil. By pyrolysing the waste oil in a modified microwave oven in the presence of a bed of particulate-carb...
