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 5000
c -6000
c .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.
