Overview

This assessment compares oil yield and product quality from two pyrolysis models for converting waste plastics, suggesting a path for effective fuel production.

Key Points

  • The central aim is to evaluate and compare the efficiency of two pyrolyzer models in converting waste plastics into liquid fuels.
  • Evaluated two pyrolysis systems with different condenser types (coaxial and tubular).
  • Converted low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polystyrene (PS) into liquid fuels.
  • Measured oil yield and conducted physicochemical analysis of the produced oils.
  • The tubular condenser system produced better oil yields (76.2% to 79.4% for LDPE) than the coaxial system.
  • PS conversion yielded lower oil yields (65.7% and 64.9% for the respective units).
  • Physicochemical properties of the oils met several standards, but some parameters fell short, such as flash point and viscosity.
