“…Other researchers have used catalysts to similar types of batch reactor setups to improve the evolution of hydrocarbon yields. However, high coke normally results in such setups due to the possibility of reaching elevated temperatures in such a reactor system Adrados et al, 2012;Shah et al, 2010;Abbas-Abadi et al, 2014). Vasile et al (2006) used a batch reactor to pyrolyse various waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) reaching pyrolysis oil yield of over 70 wt%.…”

Plastic plays an important role in our daily lives due to its versatility, light weight and low production cost. Plastics became essential in many sectors such as construction, medical, engineering applications, automotive, aerospace, etc. In addition, economic growth and development also increased our demand and dependency on plastics which leads to its accumulation in landfills imposing risk on human health, animals and cause environmental pollution problems such as ground water contamination, sanitary related issues, etc. Hence, a sustainable and an efficient plastic waste treatment is essential to avoid such issues. Pyrolysis is a thermo-chemical plastic waste treatment technique which can solve such pollution problems, as well as, recover valuable energy and products such as oil and gas. Pyrolysis of plastic solid waste (PSW) has gained importance due to having better advantages towards environmental pollution and reduction of carbon footprint of plastic products by minimizing the emissions of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide compared to combustion and gasification. This paper presents the existing techniques of pyrolysis, the parameters which affect the products yield and selectivity and identify major research gaps in this technology. The influence of different catalysts on the process as well as review and comparative assessment of pyrolysis with other thermal and catalytic plastic treatment methods, is also presented.

“…3 Over the past two decades, a large number of results on catalytic pyrolysis process for plastic have been reported. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] A wide range of catalysts such as ZnO, 4 MgO, 4 CaCO 3 , 5 CaC 2 , 4 SiO 2 , 4 Al 2 O 3 , 4 SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 , 4 ZSM-5 zeolite, 6-8 kaolin, 9,10 red mud, 8,11 CuCO 3 , 12 and FCC, 13,14 have been used. The present study attempts to utilise bentonite clay as an inexpensive and widely abundant material as a catalyst in the pyrolysis of waste plastic.…”

The present research work seeks to study the variables related to the catalytic pyrolysis of polypropylene waste to obtain liquid fuels. The effect of the reactor temperature and the catalyst/raw material ratio on the yields of liquid products was studied. For the investigation, samples of polypropylene waste from urban solid waste (MSW) were collected and, as a catalyst, the equilibrium catalyst of the Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCC) of a local refinery, a scale system was also designed and built. laboratory for catalytic pyrolysis. The experimental operating conditions that maximize the obtaining of liquid fuels were: pyrolysis temperature (reactor) = 873.15 K, ratio of catalyst / Raw Material = 10%.
