“…The highest oil yield is achieved by the sample C, then followed by the sample D. The reason could be higher PS content, where the sample C contains 10%, the sample D amounts to 5% and the rests no PS at all [7]. It happens probably due to intermediate radicals generated during the reaction which have higher molecular weights, corresponding to aromatic structure [9].…”

“…Since most of the polymers are nonbiodegradable, they are unsuitable for landfill disposal. Incineration of these wastes can be another solution, but it often generates problems with harmful emissions like nitrous and sulfur oxides, dusts, dioxins and other toxins, depending on the nature of the waste polymers (Pinto et al, 1999;Buekens and Huang, 1998). Several methods are suggested for the recycling of such waste polymers.…”

Mesoporous aluminosilicate catalysts having different Al=Si ratios were synthesized following a hydrothermal synthesis route and using different aluminum sources, such as aluminum nitrate and aluminum isopropoxide. These mesoporous materials have high surface areas, in the range of 520-1001 m 2 =g, and exhibit Type IV nitrogen adsorption isotherms. EDS and 27 Al MAS NMR results showed that aluminum was incorporated more effectively into the structure of the catalyst forming a tetrahedral framework when aluminum nitrate was used as the aluminum source. The activities of these catalysts in the polypropylene pyrolysis reaction were tested in a TGA apparatus. Results showed a marked reduction in the degradation temperature in the presence of aluminosilicate catalysts. The activation energy of degradation was 172 kJ=mole without any catalyst. However, using the mesoporous aluminosilicate catalysts synthesized by using aluminum nitrate as the aluminum source, activation energy of the degradation reaction decreased to values of about 24-28 kJ=mole.

“…Plastic production has increased over time as well, with literature reporting that plastic generation has increased from 1.5 million tons (MT) in 1950 to 245 MT in 2008(Singh, 2016. This is due to its convenience in manufacturing and variety of applications in packing, agriculture, automobile industry, construction materials, electricity and electronics (Pinto et al, 1999;Singh, 2016).…”

Along with population and urbanization in developing countries, the amount of municipal solid waste generated is also increasing. Although programs and initiatives to recycle and manage waste can often be found in the major population centers, these technologies are slow to spread to or are not yet present in the rural areas. Heavily populated urban slums are also lacking in the infrastructure needed to collect and manage trash, particularly plastic packaging. To address this challenge, the University of Kentucky Appropriate Technology and Sustainability (UKATS) research team has developed an appropriate technology based, sustainable solution to convert plastic from Municipal Solid Waste, such as High/Low Density Polyethylene, Polypropylene and Polystyrene into a valuable hydrocarbon fuel, suitable for underdeveloped or poverty stricken communities. The UKATS Processor is designed as a waste minimization solution specifically for underdeveloped communities, comprised of a simple, non-automated, multifunctional processor built using a wood fueled rocket stove as the primary heat source. This processor is designed using the principles of appropriate technology and sustainability and can be constructed using non-standard materials commonly present in rural or underdeveloped areas. This research focuses on utilizing plastic waste to produce a fuel oil product similar to kerosene or diesel in composition.
