Experimental Study of Oil Purification from Plastic Waste With Distillation System Using Fractionation Column
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Energy
Abstract
Plastic waste is a global environmental problem. Plastic waste has a negative impact on the environment if it is not processed further, including being a problem in Indonesia. One way is by converting plastic waste into oil. This can be done because basically plastic comes from petroleum, so it just needs to be returned to its original shape. In addition, plastic also has a relatively high calorific value, equivalent to fossil fuels. This study aims to determine the performance of an alternative fuel purification fractionation column distillation apparatus from LDPE type plastic waste to reduce a large amount of plastic waste. Various studies have been carried out to reduce plastic waste into something useful, one of which is converting plastic waste into an energy source. The method and process used is pyrolysis (thermal cracking). Fractionated column distillation is a method of separating a mixture of solutions using a vapor/gas phase which is then condensed into a pure solution. The purification distillation equipment consists of a heater, reactor tube, fractionation column, condenser, thermometer, inlet and outlet hoses. The distillation solution is an alternative fuel from LDPE type plastic waste. Of the five tests of alternative fuels from LDPE type plastic waste, the first test produced 1370 mL, the second test produced 1230 mL, the third test produced 1490 mL, the fourth test produced 1400 mL, the fifth test produced 1610 mL, and the overall results of the five tests is 7100 mL. Refined oil has an average density of 694 ? 736 [kg/m?].
