ABS-rich model waste characterisation for different sampling strategies – TGA data

<p>The purpose of this analysis is the development of an efficient sampling protocol for plastic waste streams. &nbsp;</p> <p>A model waste from different polymers was formulated, rich in ABS and containing PS, PP and PE in smaller proportions.&nbsp;Additionally, one bromine containing flame retardant is added to a final concentration of &nbsp;either 500ppm or 50ppm. Different sampling approaches were followed including extrusion and/or&nbsp;cryogenic grinding as a homogenization step. Each approach was&nbsp;assessed&nbsp;via various&nbsp;analytical techniques as to homogenization efficiency. &nbsp;</p> <p>This dataset contains raw TGA data of the model waste from the different sampling approaches. The content is:</p> <p>&middot;One Excel file containing TGA data of the model waste, wherein the approach was based on extrusion and measurement protocol</p> <p>&middot;One Excel file containing TGA data of the model waste, wherein the approach was based on cryogenic grinding and measurement protocol</p> <p>&middot;One Word file containing further information about the methodology and nomenclature&nbsp;</p> <p>This dataset was generated in the framework of&nbsp;PRecycling Horizon Europe project (101058670)</p>
