Evaluation the effect of the temperature and the type of plastic waste feedstock on the thermal pyrolytic oil fuel.

Recently, the pyrolysis pops up as an effective and appropriate method to benefit from plastic waste and converting it into fuel, which has been addressed by many scientific studies, in this current practical study, six types of plastic waste (PP, PS, LDPE, PET, HDPE and plastic waste mixture PWM) were used to study the influence of the various temperatures (400, 450, 500, 550 and 600 o C) on the amount of oil was produced from a thermal pyrolysis using a semi batch reactor 2.3 liter capacity, the experiments showed that, When oil is the preferred product of the pyrolysis process, PS type produced the large amount of oil (82.5%) by mass analysis at optimum temperature 450 o C, on the other side PET produced the best amount of gas (85%) at 600 o C therefore PET was the most appropriate choice when the gas form is the preferred product, temperature had a great effect on the pyrolysis products, at low temperature, the char product was the dominant product from pyrolysis, the oil product clearly appear with the temperature gradually rising for almost types of plastic which does not last as the temperature continues to increase, at high temperature the gas percentage increases at the expense of the liquid percentage decreases
