Performance and emission analysis of blends of waste plastic oil obtained by catalytic pyrolysis of waste HDPE with diesel in a CI engine

Current state and future prospects of plastic waste as source of fuel: A review

“…In order to enhance the hydroreforming reaction, where hydrogen gas is used as carrier gas in pyrolysis reactor, suitable catalysts are needed to provide reaction sites for the unsaturated hydrocarbons. The liquid product formed from polymer pyrolysis is suitable to be used as fuel in most tropical climate regions, however, freezing problem might be encountered in colder regions [106]. After suitable upgrading, pyrolysis liquid can be blended with commercial gasoline or diesel and used in combustion engines [31].…”

Performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a IDI engine running on waste plastic oil

“…Kumar et al [4] investigated the performance of waste plastic oil blends on a Comet VCT-10 engine (4-stroke, CI, Direct Injection, 2-cylinder, total displacement 1.1 L). They concluded that brake thermal efficiency at full load is lower to that of Diesel fuel due to the lower heating value of their WPO.…”

The Production of Fuel Oil by Conventional Slow Pyrolysis Using Plastic Waste from a Municipal Landfill

“…Plastics have become essential materials and their applications in the industrial field are continually increasing. During the same timeframe, waste plastics have created a very serious environmental challenge because of the huge quantities and their disposal problems [3]. Plastic retail bags are ubiquitous in modern society because they represent a convenient means to transport purchased goods from the supermarket to the home.…”
