Oil Production from Polyethylene Plastics by Thermal Pyrolysis Using a Reflux Condenser

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polyethylene (HDPE) was pyrolyzed at 450 °C using a reflux condenser to produce oil for recycling of waste plastics. HDPE was pyrolyzed in the glass reactor with a reflux condenser, and the reflux condenser was varied from 150 °C to 200 °C. With increasing the temperature of reflux condenser, the yield of oil increases and the product oil contains the components with higher molecular weight.
