Mixed Plastic Wastes To Fuel Oil By Pyrolysis Process For Solid Waste Management
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Chemical Engineering
Abstract
In this study, mixed plastic wastes was converted into hydrocarbon oil. Mixed plastic wastes used were high density polyethylene (HDPE) waste and polypropylene (PP) wastes. Zeolite Zh catalyst for pyrolysis of mixed plastic (HDPE and PP) were prepared and characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results show that the typical zeolite Zh can be prepared with molar composition of 2Na2O:Al2O3:2SiO2:35H2O by aging at room temperature for 24 hr and crystallized at 100˚C for 24hr. The pyrolysis process was carried out with fluidized bed reactor. Physical properties of product crude liquid sample were measured. The results of product fuel oil were significantly appeared as alkane and alkene groups. From this study, yields of liquid and gas were 53.35% and 31.25 % respectively.
