Low-Temperature Thermal Degradation of Disinfected COVID-19 Non-Woven Polypropylene-Based Isolation Gown Wastes into Carbonaceous Char.Yields of carbonaceous char with a high surface area were enhanced by decreasing the temperature to improve the conversion of hazardous plastic polypropylene (PP), the major component in abundantly used isolation gowns.  A batch reactor with a horizontal furnace was used to mediate the thermal decomposition of PP-IG.  Additionally, as the heating rate decreased, as well as longer isothermal residence time, the char yields were increased.
