Abstract

The plastic wastes may need billions of years to degrade naturally due to their slow degradation rate. The accumulation of the plastic wastes becomes a serious problem. Since a plastic is a polymers of hydrocarbon, it has a potential to be converted into oil fuel. In the present work, zeolite based catalytic pyrolysis of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic waste is performed with different zeolite sizes (i.e. 1, 2, and 3 mm in diameter) at low-temperature. The aim of the work is to investigate the effect of zeolite sizes on pyrolysis of LDPE plastic. The results show that smaller zeolite size increases heat transfer rate, pyrolysis temperature, reaction rate, and oil yield. From 1000 g of LDPE plastic, the oil yields are 138, 134, 126 mL for the use of 1, 2, and 3 mm in diameter of the zeolite, respectively. In order to improve the conversion of vapor into oil, the performance of the condenser have to be improved by lowering the temperature of cooling water or increasing heat transfer surface area of the condenser.
