PRODUCTION OF HUYDEROCARBON FUEL FROM WAST PLASTIC BY USING PYROLYSIS PROCESESS

Abstract

Pyrolysis of waste plastic is a prospective way of conversion of waste plastic into hydrocarbon fuel. The present research is focused on the conversion of waste plastic into hydrocarbon fuel with the absence of catalyst. Waste plastic materials polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene were collected from local convenience store packing materials. The collected waste plastics were cleaned since they exist with the foreign unwanted materials. Waste plastic material pyrolysis were conducted as individual plastics and as mixed feed in laboratory scale of flask. Since waste plastics were made from different components they have different melting point so the temperature nedded.mellting waste plastic with the absence of catalyst requires high amount of heat energy for our case we use the temperature range of 5000c -6000c .plastics contain (gas ,liquid and solid ) content we were separate those contents by using a simple distillation processes and the required were the liquid part. Time has its Owen impact on the distillation processes as the time increase the quality of the product decrease even if the amount of conversion were high. The extracted liquid serve as fuel which is named as hydrocarbon fuel which is obtained from the plastics that have hydrogen and carbon content.
