Conversion of Waste Plastic to Fuel
Authors(4) :-Amol L. Phad, Shaikh Faruk Shaikh Shakil, Vitthal M. Gaikwad, Prof. A. M. Jumle Over 1.3 billion metric ton of plastic is being manufactured every year to meet the demands of modern world. Plastic is made by polymerization of hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbon are of typically high molecular mass and may contain some other additives to enhance the capabilities of the final product. Plastic is an important material which is strong, durable, and cheap and has numerous other properties. Disposal of waste plastic is of great concern for everybody as it takes decades to decompose if left at its own. On the other hand, continuous increase in industrialization and urbanization has created measurable rise in the demand of fuels. Nowadays it has become the need to seek the alternate energy sources in the place of conventional fuels. In this scenario, Conversion of plastics to fuel is a hope to solve both the problems. Pyrolysis is a process which involves thermochemical decomposition of organic matter at high temperature (>370?C) in the absence of oxygen. Products of this process are Pyrolysis Oil, Carbon Black, and Hydrocarbons. This review paper is focusing the most efficient and widely used method of converting plastics to fuels: ‘Pyrolysis’ and its effectiveness on resolving the both issues of waste plastic management and the requirement of a good alternative fuel for use.
