This research studies the production of pyrolysis oil from 15-year-old landfill plastic waste using a fixed-bed reactor at 450 °C, aiming to convert waste into renewable fuel for industrial use.
The aim of experiment was to study the pyrolysis oil derived from sorted landfill plastic waste that had been buried for 15 years by the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization. The pyrolysis oil was produced using a Fixed-Bed Reactor at 450 °C for 1.5 hours with LPG as the feedstock, with the goal of using the pyrolysis oil as an alternative fuel. The experiment was conducted under four different conditions with activated carbon used as a catalyst. The experiment revealed that three products were produced: Oil, gas, and char in different quantities. The pyrolysis oil was compared in terms of quality based on:
- pH
- Heating value
- Moisture content
- Functional group
- Chemical Composition
The analysis results of the pyrolysis can explain which conditions are suitable for replacing fuel oil in industry. It is therefore one of the approaches that helps manage plastic waste in landfills, reducing the quantity by converting it into usable energy.
Objective
To produce and evaluate the quality of pyrolysis oil from landfill plastic waste for potential use as an industrial alternative fuel.
- To produce pyrolysis oil from landfill plastic waste using a Fixed-Bed Reactor with LPG as fuel.
- To study the characteristics and quality of pyrolysis oil from landfill plastic waste for use as an alternative fuel in the industrial sector.
- To compare the characteristics and properties of pyrolysis oil produced from a Fixed-Bed Reactor using LPG as fuel.
