This document summarizes a study on producing conventional fuel from polypropylene (PP) waste plastic.
The process involves thermally degrading and distilling PP waste plastic in a stainless steel reactor at 100-400°C without a catalyst. This produces multiple fuel fractions, with the target third fraction being jet fuel/kerosene that is collected between 180-210°C. Analysis found this fuel fraction contains hydrocarbons from C8-C19 that could potentially be used as aviation fuel or refined further. The process yielded 30.40% third fraction fuel and took 6-6.30 hours to complete.
