  • the process of the present invention is an advanced pyrolysis, since the energy required for the degradation of plastics or polymers in which the C-C and C-H bonds are broken is less than the required in the usual reactions, which translates into a lower reaction temperature. This has some advantages such as that the energy accumulated in the fuel or/and gas obtained is greater than the necessary in the process and is a more economically pyrolysis process.

  • the reaction is activated as it would in the presence of a catalyst.
  • these nanocarbon-based metal free reagents are integrated into the final product.
