Pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel

Today, plastics materials are very frequent in daily life and provide a fundamental contribution to our society. The typical distribution of household plastics as a part of the overall solid waste stream is: polyolefins 66.9%, poly sty rene 13.3%, PVC 10.3%, PET 5.3% and others 4.2%. Waste plastic ends its lifetime as municipal solid waste on the landfill 。

Pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel machine adopts the pyrolysis technology to achieve the plastic waste to fuel oil conversion. The pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel machine is a chemical process of breaking down large molecules of plastic into smaller molecules of oil, gas and carbon black. The following is the details about how to get fuel oil from plastic waste.

Pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel machine

Over the world plastic waste has continuously grown in the last decades. Disposal of waste plastics causes serious environment al problems. Thus, plastic waste recycling has been a focus of many researchers in the past few decades. 

Pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel-the processs

Pyrolysis appears to be promising technic of conversion of solid wastes plastic (SWP) to more usable materials such as gas fuel and/or fuel oil or to h igh value feedstock for the chemical industry. Degradation of the waste plastic materials, by heating in an inert atmosphere - pyrolysis, is usually conducted at moderate temperatures between 400 - 800°C. Obtained products are volat ile condensable hydrocarbon oil and a non - condensable high calorific value gas .The dominant components of domestic plastics are rich in carbon and hydrogen so that there is a good possibility for converting waste plastic into liquid fuels [3]. The ext ent of reaction, oil yield, and its composition depend on the type of plastic and process conditions . Thermal pyrolysis of plastic materials leads to a wide product distribution and requires high degradation temperatures .During the cracking proces s of long polymer molecules the degradation of polymer chains can be enhanced by applying of various catalysts. The catalytic pyrolysis of plastic wastes gives valuable products similar to diesel and gasoline .
