Journal Article
Altarawneh, S., Al-Harahsheh, M., Buttress, A., Dodds, C., & Kingman, S. (2022). A thermo-kinetic investigation on the thermal degradation of polyvinyl chloride in the presence of magnetite and hematite. Thermochimica Acta, 718, Article 179390. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tca.2022.179390

Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) which is accumulated in large amounts world-wide contains hematite (Fe2O3) and significant quantities of magnetite (Fe3O4). Waste polyvinyl chloride (PVC) also poses a great environmental threat aside to accumulated E...
