Exploring the Versatile Furnaces of the NETZSCH STA 509 Jupiter® Instrument Series

It is about the conversion of solid waste into valuable products by means of the NETZSCH Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer (STA). Several scientific papers on this topic have been published.

Materials with well-defined properties can be transformed by chemical reactions into other substances with different properties. These reactions can take place in a fraction of a second, as in explosions, or over hundreds of thousands of years, as in the formation of minerals. This is because processes such as decomposition, curing, crystallization, and sintering of mate...

As the global demand for high-quality plastic recyclates grows, advanced analytical methods are becoming essential. This trend is influenced by standards such as DIN SPEC 91446, which defines quality benchmarks for recyclates used in technical applications, and regulatory pressures such as the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive.
