Co-form^® products are typically used for personal hygiene care (cleansing wipes), household cleaning (pads and mops) and absorbent applications. Co-form^® is a thermo-bonded multilayer nonwoven composite and Kimberly-Clark patented its process in 2008. Co-form^® rejects are composed of 30% plastic polypropylene and 70% wood pulp fibre. It is difficult to recycle and to-date no research articles explore pyrolytic valorisation for its energy recovery. This paper investigated pyrolytic valorisation of co-form^® rejects into energy vectors. Pelletised co-form^® rejects obtained from a secondary fibre paper mill were processed using a laboratory scale 2 kg/h Thermo-Catalytic Reforming (TCR^®) reactor. The TCR^® process combines intermediate pyrolysis, using an auger reactor to heat the material under moderate temperatures (350–450 °C) and moderate solid residence times (minutes) in the complete absence of Oxygen, with post catalytic reforming in a fixed bed reactor at 700 °C. Pelletised co-form^® rejects were successfully converted into 12 wt% bio-oil, 9 wt% aqueous phase liquid, 8 wt% char and 71 wt% syngas products. The bio-oil higher heating value was found to be 39.36 MJ/kg, comparable to biodiesel. Naphthalene was found to be the most abundant aromatic compound within the oil, with a relative abundance of 15.22% measured by GC-MS. Oleic acid methyl ester (15.86%) was the most abundant long chain hydrocarbon detected. The higher heating value of produced gas was 11.02 MJ.Nm³ and char 30.79 MJ/kg. TCR^® conversion of co-form^® rejects proved to be a feasible route for the valorisation of this waste stream into sustainable energy vectors. In previous works, gasification processes could not successfully convert organic waste streams with a high plastic content, without implications attributed to agglomeration and melting of plastics. The TCR^® process overcome these issues with no evidence of agglomeration or melting of plastics present within the reactor. The success was believed to be through applying moderate heating rates (°C/min) and temperatures (max 700 °C), as well as the mechanical effect of continuous mixing of material within the reactor via the internal auger screw. Overall, TCR^® is a promising future route for the valorisation of co-form^® rejects to produce energy vectors.

Co- ^form®产品通常用于个人卫生护理（清洁湿巾），家庭清洁（卫生巾和拖把）和吸收性应用。Co- ^form®是一种热粘合的多层非织造复合材料，Kimberly-Clark在2008年为其工艺申请了专利。Co- ^form®废料由30％的塑料聚丙烯和70％的木浆纤维组成。回收利用是困难的，迄今为止，尚无研究文章探索热解价衡技术来回收其能量。本文研究共同形式的热解价值增殖^®废品成能量载体。制粒共成形^®从二次纤维造纸厂得到废品被使用实验室标尺2千克/小时热催化重整（TCR处理^®）反应堆。所述TCR ^®工艺结合中间热解，使用螺旋钻反应器来加热在中等温度（350-450℃）的材料，并在完全不存在氧的中度固体停留时间（分钟），在固定床反应器后催化重整在700°C下。粒状共成型^®废品已成功转化为12％（重量）的生物油，9％（重量）的水相液体，8％（重量）的焦炭和71％（重量）的合成气产品。发现生物油更高的热值是39.36 MJ / kg，与生物柴油相当。发现萘是油中最丰富的芳香族化合物，通过GC-MS测定，相对丰度为15.22％。油酸甲酯（15.86％）是检测到的最丰富的长链烃。产生的气体的较高的热值为11.02MJ.Nm ³和炭为30.79MJ / kg。TCR ^®的共同形式转换^®废物被证明是将这种废物流评估为可持续能源载体的可行途径。在以前的工作中，气化工艺无法成功地转换具有高塑料含量的有机废物流，而不会导致塑料的团聚和熔化。该TCR ^®工艺克服这些问题，没有结块或熔化的证据塑料呈现在反应器内。认为成功的原因是通过施加适度的加热速率（°C / min）和温度（最大700°C），以及通过内部螺旋钻在反应器内连续混合物料的机械效果。总体而言，TCR ^®是共同的形式价值增殖充满希望的未来路线^® 拒绝产生能量矢量。
