ABSTRACT
In India the grown of population and industries are
very rapid in urban area and therefore plastic waste
problem is generated. The characteristics of plastic
waste depend on factors such as lifestyle, climate,
tradition, food, habits etc. The problem of plastic is
that it cannot be disposed which is harmful for
environment .The other problem of plastic is that
when it is being manufactured toxic gases are released
which then create problem such as global warming
&pollution. Present study aims at some sort of new
technology which can control toxic gases and convert
plastic waste into useful energy resource. This
technology will bring employment opportunities and
it may generate big amount of income.
Keywords: Plastic waste, Energy, pyrolysis
I. INTRODUCTION
Plastics have become an indispensable part in now
present-day is living world , due to their insignificant,
durability, and energy efficiency, coupled with an
accelerated of production and design flexibility; these
plastics are industrious in entire scope of
industrialized and domestic areas; hence, plastics have
become essential substantial and their applications in
the industrial zone are continually increasing. In the
regular day, waste plastics have more generated a
very serious environmental challenge because of their
vast quantities and their disposal problems. Waste
plastic pyrolysis in liquid fuel (gasoline, diesel oil,
etc.) or synthetical raw materials not only can
completely solve the problem of white pollution, but
also can alleviate the energy shortage to a certain
extent. Recycling of waste plastics is expected to
become the most effective way. Waste plastics’

low density polythylene [16], high density
polythylene [20, 21], and various mixtures [17] was
reported. In all polystyrene studies, the properties of
the resulting bio-oil were not reported, nor were the
upgrading to fuel-grade hydrocarbons and subsequent
fuel property determination.
The purposeof this study was the creation, model, and
evaluation of alternative fuel from pyrolysis of high
density polythylene waste plastics. Comparison of our
pyrolysis oil with conventional petroleum-derived
diesel fuel was a further objective, along with a
comparison to petrol, diesel standards such as ASTM
D 975 and EN 590. Mixture of waste plastic pyrolysis
Soil (WPPO) with oil was prepared and the outcome
fuel properties were measured. It is predictable that
these outcome will further the understanding of the
applicability and limitations of high density
polyethylene as a feedstock for the production of
alternative fuel.
II. Material & Methodology
Figure1. Flowchart of experimental procedure
A. Material and Process description
The plastic used in this study was used waste plastic
polythene (LDPE) for domestic purposes. Waste
plastics were cleaned with solvent and clean water to
remove contained foreign matter such as mud and oil.
Wash out waste plastics were dry and cut into small
slice.
B. Experimental Setup
A laboratory scale externally heated fixed bed
pyrolysis batch reactor was used for production of oil
from plastic. The schematic diagram of plastic
pyrolysis setup is shown in figure. Basic instruments
of the pyrolysis chamber are temperature controller,
condenser, a heating coil, storage tank, valve, and gas
exit line. The effective length and diameter of the
glass made reactor are 38 cm and 15 cm, respectively.
The reactor with polythene was heated electrically up
to 475°C with Ni-Cr wire electric heater. Then the
gases produced from heating of plastic are passed
toward condenser, where condensation of these gases
occur and get oil from the plastic.
Figure2. Experimental setup
There was no output at low temperature range and the
process was carried out between the temperature
ranges of C330 to C490 in the reactor for about two
hours and forty minutes. The vapour products of
pyrolysis were carried out through condenser. The
condenser was cooled with ice water and condensed
bio oil was collected into collector .The non-
condensed gas was flared to the atmosphere and the
char was collected from the reactor after completion
of pyrolysis cycle.
This figure 3 shows the outcome of Experiment, after
the condensation process is done gases will be
converted into liquid form which is the main output of
the project.

Result
A. Effect of Temperature on Product Yield
The products are separated into gas, oil, and char
residue by pyrolysis of waste plastic. About 38.5% of
WPPO was obtained at temperature 330°C as
presented in the oil percentage increased constantly to
76.0% at 425°C. The gases produced through plastic
pyrolysis consist principally of hydrogen (H2), carbon
dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), methane
(CH4), ethane (C2H4), and butadiene (C4H6), with
trace amounts of propane (CH3CH2CH3), propene
(CH3CH=CH2), n-butane (CH3(CH2)2CH3), and other
miscellaneous hydrocarbons.
B. Effect of Distillation Temperature on Crude
WPPO
Distillation is carried out to separate the lighter and
heavier fraction of hydrocarbon present in waste
plastic pyrolysis oil. The distillation is operated
between 116°C and 264°C; 73.5% of WPPO is
distilled out. At the temperature of 116°C only about
10.0% of distilled WPPO was achieved. However,
percentage of WPPO increased constantly to 73.5% at
a temperature of 264°C from 10% at the temperature
116°C.
C. Analysis of Waste Plastic Pyrolysis Oil
1. Viscosity
Viscosity varies with feedstock, pyrolysis conditions,
temperature, and other variables. The higher the
viscosity, the higher the fuel consumption, engine
temperature, and load on the engine. On the other
hand, if the viscosity of oil is too high, excessive
friction may take place. The viscosity was measured
by the IP-50 methodology at a temperature of 40°C. It
is observed that the viscosity of waste plastic
pyrolysis oil obtained at 425°C pyrolysis temperature
which was comparably higher than kerosene and
lower than diesel. Following Table 1 represents the
comparison of viscosity for various fuels.
Table 1: Comparison of viscosity with different
Fuel petrol, diesel, and kerosene
Name of Fuel viscosity (sec)
Biofuel 58
Diesel 0.6
Petrol 0.06
kerosene 0.06
2. Density
Density is an important property of a fuel oil. If the
density of fuel is high; the fuel consumption will be
less. On the other hand, the oil with low density will
consume more fuel which may cause damage to the
engine. Therefore, too low or too high density of fuel
oil is not desirable. It is clear from Figure 15 that the
densities of WPPO and WPPO50 were found to be
0.7477g/cc and 0.7943g/cc, respectively, which is
close to the density of kerosene, diesel, and gas oil. So
the conventional fuel such as diesel oil, kerosene oil,
and gas oil may be replaced by plastic pyrolysis oil.
Following Table 2 represents the comparison of
density for various fuels.
Table 2:- Comparison of Density with different
Fuel petrol, diesel, kerosene
Name of Fuel Density gms/ cc
Bio Fuel 0.77
Diesel 0.83
Petrol 0.77
Kerosene 0.81
3. Flash Point
Flash point is the lowest temperature at which it can
vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air. Flash
point is used to characterize the fire hazards of fuels.
The flash point of WPPO was measured according to
ASTM D 93-62 method. The flash point of WPPO
was about 15°C. A low flash point indicates the
presence of highly volatile materials in the fuel that is
a serious safety concern in handling and transporting.
The flash point of furnace oil, diesel, and kerosene is
higher than WPPO which indicates that these are easy
to handle. By removing lighter components (such as
naphtha/gasoline) the flash point of WPPO will be
increased. It has been observed that the resulted fuel
contains 380
C flash point.
4. Fire Point
The fire point of a fuel is the temperature at which it
will continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after
ignition by an open flame. The fire point is used to
assess the risk of the materials ability to support
combustion. Generally, the fire point of any liquid oil
is considered to be about (5–10) °C higher than the
flash point. The fire point of waste plastic pyrolysis
oil was 20°C. Following Table 3 represents the
comparison of fire point for various fuels.

Diesel 43
Petrol 52
Kerosene 38-72
5. Pour Point
The pour point is the temperature at which the oil will
just ceases to flow when cooled at a standard rate in a
standard apparatus. Pour point determines the
suitability of oil for low temperature installations. The
pour point of WPPO was measured by using ASTM D
97-57 methodology. The pour point was <−15°C. The
low pour point value of WPPO indicates that it is not
suitable in cold weather country. Following Table 4
represents the comparison of pour point for various
fuels.
Table 4:- Comparison of Pour Point of Different
oil petrol, Diesel, kerosene
Name of Fuel Pour point(°C)
Bio fuel -20
Diesel -40
Petrol -40
Kerosene -40
6. Calorific Value
One of the important properties of a fuel on which its
efficiency is judged is its calorific value. The calorific
value is defined as the energy given out when unit
mass of fuel is burned completely in sufficient air.
The calorific value of WPPO was estimated according
to IP 12/58 method. The calorific value of WPPO was
9829.3515 kcal/kg.The comparison of calorific value
of WPPO with other kinds of oil. Following Table 5
represents the comparison of calorific value for
various fuels.
Table 5:-Comparison of calorific value of Different
oil petrol, Diesel, kerosene
Name of Fuel Calorific value
(Kcal/kg)
Bio fuel 10120
Diesel 10470
Petrol 10840
Kerosene 10560
7. Sulphur
The presence of sulphur in vehicle fuels
causes emissions that are an environmental issue.
High sulphur content decreases the catalytic
conversion capacity of a system, thus increasing the
emissions of nitrous oxides, carbon monoxide (CO),
hydrocarbons, and volatile organic compounds
(VOCs). The sulphur content of WPPO was measured
by using ASTM D 129-00 methodology.
The sulphur content of waste plastic pyrolysis oil was
0.246%. Sulphur content of WPPO is slightly higher
than gasoline (0.014%), diesel (0.15%), and other
types of fuel oil because waste plastic contains some
contamination. Following Table 6 represents the
comparison sulphur contents for various fuels.
Table 6:- Comparison of sulphur of Different oil
petrol, Diesel, kerosene
Name of Fuel Sulphur (PPM)
Bio fuel 0
Diesel 350
Petrol 150
Kerosene 200
8. Ash Content
The ash content of oil is the non-combustible residue.
The ash content of distilled tire pyrolysis oil (DTPO)
and DTPO50 (50% DTPO:50% diesel) was measured
by using IP 04/58 test methodology. It is clear that the
ash content of WPPO was 0.0036% comparatively
higher than diesel, light fuel oil, and kerosene. So it
can be used as an alternative of furnace oil and heavy
fuel oil (HFO). The produced biofuel contains 0.03%
ash contents.
9. Carbon Residue
Carbon residue indicates the tendency of oil to deposit
a carbonaceous solid residue on a hot surface, such as
a burner or injection nozzle, when its vaporizable
constituents evaporate. The carbon residue of WPPO
was measured according to ASTM D 189-65 method.
Oil which deposits minimum amount of carbon is
naturally preferable. The carbon residue of the plastic
pyrolysis oil was 0.5%. In another study, 0.05% of
carbon residue was reported [22]. The carbon residue
of the diesel fuel and light fuel oil was comparatively
higher than WPPO. This indicates that diesel fuels
will form higher deposits. Fuels with high carbon
residue content could cause increased fouling of the
gas ways; more frequent cleaning is necessary,
especially of the turbocharger and exhaust gas boiler.
The produced biofuel contains 1.6% Carbon Residue.
Following table 7represents the summary of various
properties of biofuel produced through the laboratory
set up.

III.Conclusion
The thermal pyrolysis of mixed plastic leads to the
production of fuel oil which is a valuable resource
recovery. It also reduces the problem of disposal of
waste plastic. In this work, thermal pyrolysis of waste
plastic is carried out because use of catalyst is costly
and regeneration of catalyst is a difficult task. Mixed
plastic pyrolysis yields a mixture of oil and gas and
produces very small amount of char. higher pyrolysis
temperature and longer reaction times increase the gas
yield and decrease char production. Highly volatile
products are obtained at low temperature. Liquid yield
increases as the holding time increases from 1 hr to
2 hr, but as the holding time increases from 2 hr to
3 hr, the liquid yield decreases. The maximum oil
yield was 77.03% at 2 hr. The liquid obtained in this
process is relatively greater volume and low boiling
range. Distillation of fuel-like liquids shows more
light fractions at higher temperature and longer time.
Physicochemical properties of obtained fuel oil can be
exploited to make highly efficient fuel or furnace oil
after blending with other petroleum products.
However, further studies are necessary to utilize this
oil as fuel or feedstock.

Converting Plastic to Useful Energy Resources

  • 1. @ IJTSRD | Available Online @ www.ijtsrd.com ISSN No: 2456 International Research Converting Plastic to Useful Energy Resources Student Vadodara Institute of Engineering ABSTRACT In India the grown of population and industries are very rapid in urban area and therefore plastic waste problem is generated. The characteristics of plastic waste depend on factors such as lifestyle, climate, tradition, food, habits etc. The problem of plastic is that it cannot be disposed which is harmful for environment .The other problem of plastic is that when it is being manufactured toxic gases are released which then create problem such as global warming &pollution. Present study aims at some sort of new technology which can control toxic gases and convert plastic waste into useful energy resource. This technology will bring employment opportunities and it may generate big amount of income. Keywords: Plastic waste, Energy, pyrolysis I. INTRODUCTION Plastics have become an indispensable part in now present-day is living world , due to their insignificant, durability, and energy efficiency, coupled with an accelerated of production and design flexibility; these plastics are industrious in entire scope of industrialized and domestic areas; hence, plastics have become essential substantial and their applications in the industrial zone are continually increasing. In the regular day, waste plastics have more generated a very serious environmental challenge because of their vast quantities and their disposal problems.

In all polystyrene studies, the properties of the resulting bio-oil were not reported, nor were the upgrading to fuel-grade hydrocarbons and subsequent fuel property determination. The purposeof this study was the creation, model, and evaluation of alternative fuel from pyrolysis of high density polythylene waste plastics. Comparison of our pyrolysis oil with conventional petroleum-derived diesel fuel was a further objective, along with a comparison to petrol, diesel standards such as ASTM D 975 and EN 590. Mixture of waste plastic pyrolysis Soil (WPPO) with oil was prepared and the outcome fuel properties were measured. It is predictable that these outcome will further the understanding of the applicability and limitations of high density polyethylene as a feedstock for the production of alternative fuel. II. Material & Methodology Figure1. Flowchart of experimental procedure A. Material and Process description The plastic used in this study was used waste plastic polythene (LDPE) for domestic purposes. Waste plastics were cleaned with solvent and clean water to remove contained foreign matter such as mud and oil. Wash out waste plastics were dry and cut into small slice. B. Experimental Setup A laboratory scale externally heated fixed bed pyrolysis batch reactor was used for production of oil from plastic. The schematic diagram of plastic pyrolysis setup is shown in figure. Basic instruments of the pyrolysis chamber are temperature controller, condenser, a heating coil, storage tank, valve, and gas exit line. The effective length and diameter of the glass made reactor are 38 cm and 15 cm, respectively. The reactor with polythene was heated electrically up to 475°C with Ni-Cr wire electric heater. Then the gases produced from heating of plastic are passed toward condenser, where condensation of these gases occur and get oil from the plastic. Figure2. Experimental setup There was no output at low temperature range and the process was carried out between the temperature ranges of C330 to C490 in the reactor for about two hours and forty minutes. The vapour products of pyrolysis were carried out through condenser. The condenser was cooled with ice water and condensed bio oil was collected into collector .The non- condensed gas was flared to the atmosphere and the char was collected from the reactor after completion of pyrolysis cycle.

Effect of Temperature on Product Yield The products are separated into gas, oil, and char residue by pyrolysis of waste plastic. About 38.5% of WPPO was obtained at temperature 330°C as presented in the oil percentage increased constantly to 76.0% at 425°C. The gases produced through plastic pyrolysis consist principally of hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), ethane (C2H4), and butadiene (C4H6), with trace amounts of propane (CH3CH2CH3), propene (CH3CH=CH2), n-butane (CH3(CH2)2CH3), and other miscellaneous hydrocarbons. B. Effect of Distillation Temperature on Crude WPPO Distillation is carried out to separate the lighter and heavier fraction of hydrocarbon present in waste plastic pyrolysis oil. The distillation is operated between 116°C and 264°C; 73.5% of WPPO is distilled out. At the temperature of 116°C only about 10.0% of distilled WPPO was achieved. However, percentage of WPPO increased constantly to 73.5% at a temperature of 264°C from 10% at the temperature 116°C. C. Analysis of Waste Plastic Pyrolysis Oil 1. Viscosity Viscosity varies with feedstock, pyrolysis conditions, temperature, and other variables. The higher the viscosity, the higher the fuel consumption, engine temperature, and load on the engine. On the other hand, if the viscosity of oil is too high, excessive friction may take place. The viscosity was measured by the IP-50 methodology at a temperature of 40°C. It is observed that the viscosity of waste plastic pyrolysis oil obtained at 425°C pyrolysis temperature which was comparably higher than kerosene and lower than diesel. Following Table 1 represents the comparison of viscosity for various fuels. Table 1: Comparison of viscosity with different Fuel petrol, diesel, and kerosene Name of Fuel viscosity (sec) Biofuel 58 Diesel 0.6 Petrol 0.06 kerosene 0.06 2. Density Density is an important property of a fuel oil. If the density of fuel is high; the fuel consumption will be less. On the other hand, the oil with low density will consume more fuel which may cause damage to the engine. Therefore, too low or too high density of fuel oil is not desirable. It is clear from Figure 15 that the densities of WPPO and WPPO50 were found to be 0.7477g/cc and 0.7943g/cc, respectively, which is close to the density of kerosene, diesel, and gas oil. So the conventional fuel such as diesel oil, kerosene oil, and gas oil may be replaced by plastic pyrolysis oil. Following Table 2 represents the comparison of density for various fuels. Table 2:- Comparison of Density with different Fuel petrol, diesel, kerosene Name of Fuel Density gms/ cc Bio Fuel 0.77 Diesel 0.83 Petrol 0.77 Kerosene 0.81 3. Flash Point Flash point is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air. Flash point is used to characterize the fire hazards of fuels. The flash point of WPPO was measured according to ASTM D 93-62 method. The flash point of WPPO was about 15°C. A low flash point indicates the presence of highly volatile materials in the fuel that is a serious safety concern in handling and transporting. The flash point of furnace oil, diesel, and kerosene is higher than WPPO which indicates that these are easy to handle. By removing lighter components (such as naphtha/gasoline) the flash point of WPPO will be increased. It has been observed that the resulted fuel contains 380 C flash point. 4. Fire Point The fire point of a fuel is the temperature at which it will continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition by an open flame. The fire point is used to assess the risk of the materials ability to support combustion. Generally, the fire point of any liquid oil is considered to be about (5–10) °C higher than the flash point. The fire point of waste plastic pyrolysis oil was 20°C. Following Table 3 represents the comparison of fire point for various fuels.

Pour Point The pour point is the temperature at which the oil will just ceases to flow when cooled at a standard rate in a standard apparatus. Pour point determines the suitability of oil for low temperature installations. The pour point of WPPO was measured by using ASTM D 97-57 methodology. The pour point was <−15°C. The low pour point value of WPPO indicates that it is not suitable in cold weather country. Following Table 4 represents the comparison of pour point for various fuels. Table 4:- Comparison of Pour Point of Different oil petrol, Diesel, kerosene Name of Fuel Pour point(°C) Bio fuel -20 Diesel -40 Petrol -40 Kerosene -40 6. Calorific Value One of the important properties of a fuel on which its efficiency is judged is its calorific value. The calorific value is defined as the energy given out when unit mass of fuel is burned completely in sufficient air. The calorific value of WPPO was estimated according to IP 12/58 method. The calorific value of WPPO was 9829.3515 kcal/kg.The comparison of calorific value of WPPO with other kinds of oil. Following Table 5 represents the comparison of calorific value for various fuels. Table 5:-Comparison of calorific value of Different oil petrol, Diesel, kerosene Name of Fuel Calorific value (Kcal/kg) Bio fuel 10120 Diesel 10470 Petrol 10840 Kerosene 10560 7. Sulphur The presence of sulphur in vehicle fuels causes emissions that are an environmental issue. High sulphur content decreases the catalytic conversion capacity of a system, thus increasing the emissions of nitrous oxides, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The sulphur content of WPPO was measured by using ASTM D 129-00 methodology. The sulphur content of waste plastic pyrolysis oil was 0.246%. Sulphur content of WPPO is slightly higher than gasoline (0.014%), diesel (0.15%), and other types of fuel oil because waste plastic contains some contamination. Following Table 6 represents the comparison sulphur contents for various fuels. Table 6:- Comparison of sulphur of Different oil petrol, Diesel, kerosene Name of Fuel Sulphur (PPM) Bio fuel 0 Diesel 350 Petrol 150 Kerosene 200 8. Ash Content The ash content of oil is the non-combustible residue. The ash content of distilled tire pyrolysis oil (DTPO) and DTPO50 (50% DTPO:50% diesel) was measured by using IP 04/58 test methodology. It is clear that the ash content of WPPO was 0.0036% comparatively higher than diesel, light fuel oil, and kerosene. So it can be used as an alternative of furnace oil and heavy fuel oil (HFO). The produced biofuel contains 0.03% ash contents. 9. Carbon Residue Carbon residue indicates the tendency of oil to deposit a carbonaceous solid residue on a hot surface, such as a burner or injection nozzle, when its vaporizable constituents evaporate. The carbon residue of WPPO was measured according to ASTM D 189-65 method. Oil which deposits minimum amount of carbon is naturally preferable. The carbon residue of the plastic pyrolysis oil was 0.5%. In another study, 0.05% of carbon residue was reported [22]. The carbon residue of the diesel fuel and light fuel oil was comparatively higher than WPPO. This indicates that diesel fuels will form higher deposits. Fuels with high carbon residue content could cause increased fouling of the gas ways; more frequent cleaning is necessary, especially of the turbocharger and exhaust gas boiler. The produced biofuel contains 1.6% Carbon Residue. Following table 7represents the summary of various properties of biofuel produced through the laboratory set up.

It also reduces the problem of disposal of waste plastic. In this work, thermal pyrolysis of waste plastic is carried out because use of catalyst is costly and regeneration of catalyst is a difficult task. Mixed plastic pyrolysis yields a mixture of oil and gas and produces very small amount of char. higher pyrolysis temperature and longer reaction times increase the gas yield and decrease char production. Highly volatile products are obtained at low temperature. Liquid yield increases as the holding time increases from 1 hr to 2 hr, but as the holding time increases from 2 hr to 3 hr, the liquid yield decreases. The maximum oil yield was 77.03% at 2 hr. The liquid obtained in this process is relatively greater volume and low boiling range. Distillation of fuel-like liquids shows more light fractions at higher temperature and longer time. Physicochemical properties of obtained fuel oil can be exploited to make highly efficient fuel or furnace oil after blending with other petroleum products. However, further studies are necessary to utilize this oil as fuel or feedstock. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We are extremely grateful and deeply indebted to my Research Guide, Prof. Pranav D.
