ABS-rich model waste characterization for different sampling strategies – ATR FTIR data

The purpose of this analysis is the development of an efficient sampling protocol for plastic waste streams.  

A model waste from different polymers was formulated, rich in ABS and containing PS, PP and PE in smaller proportions. Additionally, one bromine containing flame retardant is added to a final concentration of  either 500ppm or 50ppm. Different sampling approaches were followed including extrusion and/or cryogenic grinding as a homogenization step. Each approach was assessed via various analytical techniques as to homogenization efficiency.  

This dataset contains raw ATR-FTIR data of the model waste from the different sampling approaches. The content is:

One Excel file containing ATR-FTIR data of the model waste, wherein the approach was based on extrusion and measurement protocol

One Excel file containing ATR-FTIR data of the model waste, wherein the approach was based on cryogenic grinding and measurement protocol

One Readme file containing further information about the methodology and nomenclature 

This dataset was generated in the framework of PRecycling Horizon Europe project (101058670)
