Co-pyrolysis of mixed municipal solid waste components in a semi-pilot scale rotary kiln: synergistic effects on pyrolysis oil and biochar properties.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sustainable valorisation of municipal solid waste (MSW) is essential to mitigate landfill pressures, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support the circular bioeconomy. This study investigates the sequential co-pyrolysis of wastepaper (WP), textiles (TW), mixed plastics (MP), and mustard husk (MH) in a semi-pilot-scale rotary kiln reactor at 500 °C. The individual feedstocks, binary (WP-MP), ternary (WP-MP-TW; PTP), and quaternary mixtures (PTP-MH; Mix-4) were pyrolysed to evaluate synergistic decomposition behaviour and product upgrading. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed primary devolatilization between 230-550 °C, with mixtures exhibiting shifted decomposition onset due to hydrogen-donor interactions and radical coupling between biomass and polymer-derived intermediates. Mixed plastics yielded the highest pyrolysis oil content (43 wt%) and the lowest char yield (16 wt%), whereas wastepaper produced the highest char (30-40 wt%). Furthermore, co-pyrolysis significantly enhanced product distribution, with PTP and Mix-4 achieving up to 37 wt% pyrolysis oil, 18-28 wt% char, and reduced gas formation compared to pure biomass. The quality of pyrolysis oil improved markedly with blending; calorific value increased from 18.41 MJ kg
