Microwave-induced in-situ catalytic co-pyrolysis of empty fruit bunch (EFB) with truck tire (TT) using a low-cost heterogeneous catalyst to produce aromatic-rich pyrolytic oil is proposed. In this study, the effect of catalyst type and catalyst-to-feedstock ratio were investigated. Three types of ca...
