Implication

Experimental study demonstrates efficient fuel production from polyethylene waste using cobalt-molybdenum zeolite catalysts, highlighting a viable pathway for plastic recycling.

Key Points

To evaluate the hydrocracking of low-density polyethylene plastic waste into liquid fuels using natural zeolite-supported nickel and cobalt bifunctional catalysts.
Natural mordenite zeolite was acid-activated using 6N HCl and loaded with Ni, Ni-Mo, Co, or Co-Mo metals before microwave heating and hydrogen gas reduction.
Hydrocracking of LDPE was performed at 350 °C with a 20 mL/min hydrogen stream for 1 hour, followed by GC-MS characterization of liquid products.
LDPE conversion over Co-Mo supported on activated zeolite at 350 °C achieved the highest gasoline selectivity at 71.49%.
Liquid reaction yields contained C6 to C19 hydrocarbon chains corresponding to fuel compounds, including paraffins, olefins, and naphthenes.
