THERMAL CRACKING OF THE MODEL SEVEN COMPONENTS MIXED PLASTICS INTO OILS/WAXES
[attachment=52077]
Abstract
In a previous paper we have reported thermal cracking of individual and mixed plastics into
oil/waxes. Now we are getting insight into thermal cracking of model seven components mixed
plastics. Thermal cracking of mixture composed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) /low-density
polyethylene (LDPE) /linear-low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) /polypropylene (PP)/polyvinyl
chloride (PVC)/ polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) /polystyrene PS/ (HDPE/LDPE/LLPE/PP/PS/PET/
PVC = 34.6/17.3/17.3/9.6./9.6./10.6/1.1 %wt.) was carried out in the batch reactor at
temperatures from 350 to 500oC in atmospheric pressure. The main objective of this study was
converting the seven components mixed plastics into oil/wax product for use as hydrocarbon fuel
oil or chemical feedstock. The effect of temeperature and reaction time have been studied to
ascertain the optimum conditions necessary for the production as well as to investigate the effects
of these parameters on the composition of pyrolysis products, with special emphasis on the
oil/waxes.
