Pyrolysis technology of plastic to oil

Pyrolysis technology of plastic to oil 

 

As known that plastic is a non-degradable petroleum based product. The old landfill area is found that degradable product is composted, be-come soil while plastic is still exist. This problem is solved by converting waste plastic to energy by pyrolysis process.
As the petroleum based plastic is the polymeric mate-rial, the plastic pyrolysis process is the thermal de-po-lymerization process in the absence of oxygen which is able to convert plastic into gasoline-range hydrocarbons
 The waste plastic used in pyrolysis process is needed to be sorted and cleaned. The Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) which are the main component
of the plastic in municipal solid waste are used in the process in order to prevent
the contamination of chlorinein the oil  The classified waste plastic is processed
from an autoclave pyrolysis reactor. In general, product yields from pyrolysis are varied with temperature. The plastic pyrolysis oil used in this research is processed at 300-500°C at atmospheric pressure for 3 hours. The product output consists of 60-80% pyrolysis oil, 5-10% residue and the rest is pyrolysis gas on weight basis.
