Pyrolysis of Plastic Waste into The Fuel Oil
AI summary Read the abstract
This engineering paper describes the pyrolysis of plastic waste into fuel oil, evaluating process conditions and product yield. It is a waste-to-energy study relevant to plastic recycling but focused on industrial conversion rather than environmental microplastic contamination.
Plastic distillation with pyrolysis method is one of the ways that can be used to convert plastic waste into useful chemicals and fuel oil. The purpose of this research is to design a simple plastic waste distillation design model, knowing the oil yield that can be obtained and the calorific value
