TO STUDY THE PARAMETERS OF FUEL FROM WASTE PLASTICS

Plastic have great demand in market, despite knowing its effects on the environment. They are Non-Biodegradable waste which cannot be replenished easily. About 15000 tons of plastic waste is produced every day in our surroundings. These wastes causes pollution to the environment, choking problems to the animals & diseases to the human being. These wastes cannot be degraded easily so other measures can be taken to curb its effects. Here plastic wastes is converted into usable plastic fuel with the help of pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis is defined as the heating of any substance in absence of oxygen at about 3000C-5000C. The plastic wastes are subjected to depolymerisation pyrolysis, thermal cracking & distillation to obtain usable fuel. This process will relieve some stress from the environment & also fulfil the need of the society. The main aim of this work of this work is to convert plastic waste into plastic fuel & compare its properties with petrol & diesel.
