The globally increasing demand for plastics is causing the increase in plastic wastes landfill which has serious environmental harms. Demand for plastic is increasing but the petroleum reserves are depleting and as plastics are obtained from petroleum, converting waste plastic into liquid hydrocarbon fuel is most suitable option for the minimizing the plastic waste which will either landfilled. Using Pyrolysis process we can convert plastic waste into liquid hydrocarbon fuel as this fuel has matching characteristics with the fuels like diesel or petrol, the process of pyrolysis is considered for conversion. In this paper the pyrolysis process is reviewed for different types of plastics and the process parameters that can affect the final end product that are gaseous, oil and char. The main parameters of the process are temperatures, type of reactors, type of fluidizing gas, pressure, catalysts, residence time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
