Determination of Catalytic Rate Constants towards Polymeric Conversion to Synthetic Oils: Bridging the Gap between Kinetics and Thermodynamics

Abstract

Coal fly ash is being utilized as a recycling material for catalysis due to its aluminosilicate content. Catalytic conversion of polymeric wastes into synthetic gasoline and diesel through pyrolysis requires application of kinetic and thermodynamic principles. This study aimed to identify the catalytic rate constant necessary for rate law involved in reaction mechanisms and activation energy reduction needed for heat transfer rate. Stoichiometric application for balanced total series of elementary reactions is solved for the concentration determination of reactants and products. Unsteady-state in three dimensional directions of thermodynamics is derived for the determination of heat transfer rate, temperatures at any position in a sphere using Gurney and Lurie chart and center temperature in a sphere by Heisler chart. Application principles of rate law and Arrhenius equation can result to thermal conductivity as a function of activation energy leading to synthetic fuel production.

The Statutory Interpretation of Renewable Energy Based on Syllogism of British Government Constitutional Forms towards Sustainable Development Goals

“…During 2011, the United States coal plants used and emitted numerous entities for energy production citing 110 million tons of coal ash, an approximate of 1 trillion gallons of water for processing, and discharge of about 1.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide. There are separated technologies being utilized to reduce waste effluents together with its harmful effects to the environment, and its treatment application for solid, liquid, and gaseous emissions has been acknowledged to be an expensive method being developed as a novel process that would control carbon dioxide emission [1].…”
