Catalytic Conversion From Plastic Waste by Silica-Alumina-Ceramic Catalyst to Produce an Alternative Fuel Hydrocarbon Fraction

Abstract

Liquid fuels from polypropylene plastic waste have been successfully performed by catalytic cracking method. The catalyst used is Al-MCM-41- Ceramics. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, Pyridine-FTIR, N2-Adsorption-Desorption, and the product of catalytic cracking were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The catalyst was using three times at sample notify A,B and C. The results showed liquid fuels have the largest percentage of gasoline (C8-C12) are 92.76; 91.92 and 90.58 percent fraction produced. The performance of catalyst showed that reuseability number were decrease, but the charactersitic of liquid fuel produced were also be agreeable to commercial gasoline standard. Keywords: olypropylene waste plastics, liquid fuels, catalytic conversion, Al-MCM-41-Cer catalyst, reuseability number.

“…The interaction between the pyridine compound and the active site of the Al-MCM-41/Ceramic catalyst at the wavenumber 1548 cm -1 showed the active site of Bronsted acid with the amount of 0.0311 mmol/g. Whereas the wavenumber 1446 cm -1 with the amount of 0.0342 mmol/g shows the interaction between the pyridine compound and the active site Al-MCM-41/Ceramic which was considered Lewis acid [8,11]. These results are summarized in Figure 1.…”

“…The flashpoint of fuel indicates a safe limit against fire hazards during storage. The more the composition of short-chain hydrocarbon compounds, the smaller the flashpoint and the higher the boiling point (Juwono, Sujadmiko, Fauziah, & Ayyun, 2019).…”

“…The calorific value obtained does not meet the standard calorific value of gasoline if it is based on data from Pertamina which states that the calorific value of gasoline is at least 10,160 cal/g and a maximum of 11,000 cal/g. The gasoline fraction with a low calorific value shows the composition of the short-chain hydrocarbon fraction is small (Juwono et al 2019).…”
