Abstract High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes have gradually become the first choice for gas networks because of their excellent characteristics. As the use of pipes increases, there will unavoidably be a significant amount of waste generated when the pipes cease their operation life, which, if improperly handled, might result in major environmental contamination issues. In this study, the thermal degradation of polyethylene materials is simulated for different pressures (10, 50, 100, and 150 MPa) and temperatures (2300, 2500, 2700, and 2900 K) in the framework of Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics simulation. The main gas products,… More >
