Conversion Of Waste Plastics To Fuel Oil

AbstractWaste plastic disposal and excessive use of fossil fuels have caused environmentconcerns in the world. Both plastics and petroleum derived fuels are hydrocarbons thatcontain the elements of carbon and hydrogen. The difference between them is that plasticmolecules have longer carbon chains than those in LPG, petrol, and diesel fuels. Therefore, itis possible to convert waste plastic into fuels.The main objectives of this study were to understand and optimize the processes of plasticpyrolysis for maximizing the diesel range products. Pyrolysis of polyethylene (PE) andpolypropylene (PP) h…
