A 297-page thread? Yikes.

Also the type of plastic is important, you can use only plastics that have pure hydrocarbons in them and nothing else, such as polyethylene and polypropylene. PVC should not be used as it contains large amounts of chlorine that is very toxic and would corrode the metals in your reactor. Also PET bottles are no good as they contain additional oxygen and we need the process to be in non oxygen environment. So only use plastics that contain only carbon and hydrogen.
Chlorine....and suphur with tires. Biomass would be promising.

With plastic we get up to 95 liters from 100kg of plastic and there is nothing else than hydrocarbons in it.
Does this mean it's 100% consumed (and less dens than water), or is there residue?
