    Abstract: A method for producing a vapor stream from waste plastic comprises providing a waste plastic feedstock into a reactor containing one or more residues produced from a previously heated source of waste plastic, and heating the waste plastic feedstock in the reactor to a temperature from about 125° C. to 500° C. to generate a vapor containing one or more hydrocarbons. The waste plastic feedstock can have a calcium to sodium mass ratio from about 0.0001 to 400 as measured by inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometry. The catalytic activity in the reactor may be provided through one or more constituent elements in the waste plastic feedstock or the one or more residues produced from the previously heated source of waste plastic.

    Abstract: A mesofluidic reactor performs a chemical reaction of a starting material. A liquid phase starting material is introduced into a spraying head equipped with an ultrasound generating piezoelectric crystal unit. An inert/reagent gas feeds into the spraying head, connected to a reactor tube arranged within a thermally insulated multi-zone heating unit. For solid phase, an inert/reagent gas is introduced into a solids container connected to a spraying head equipped with an ultrasound generating piezoelectric crystal unit. The spraying head connects to a reactor tube arranged within a thermally insulated multi-zone heating unit. In either case, a reactor tube outlet connects to a cooled product trap to collect conversed substances. The spraying head generates a particle size distribution with nano and micro sized particles for the liquid phase and nano, micro or larger particles for the solid phase. The inert/reagent gas is preheated over the piezoelectric crystal unit's surface.
