Laboratory setup for converting plastic into liquid fuel

The accumulation of plastic waste and environmental pollution increases every year. In this study, the pyrolysis process of polypropylene plastic for the production of liquid fuel was investigated, focusing on the effect of reaction time in a fixed-bed reactor. Reaction times of ۳۰, ۶۰, ۱۲۰, and ۱۸۰ min were examined in this process. The results indicated that increasing the reaction time led to a higher yield of liquid product and a reduction in the amount of residue. Under optimal operating conditions (temperature of ۵۲۵°C, gas flow rate of ۱۰ ml/min, and a reaction time of ۱۲۰ min), ۰.۸۱ gr of liquid product was produced. The results indicate the high potential of this process in converting plastic into valuable fuel and reducing environmental pollution.
