Researched on pyrolysis and reviewed the progress of catalytic pyrolysis of plastic waste and its potential to solve the oil crisis and diminish land pollution. Investigated the use of different catalysts to improve the quality of the liquid oil and analysed its properties in contrast to conventional diesel fuel. Worked on a research paper on this project under Prof. Basit Yameen (former PhD researcher & Instructor at Harvard Medical School and Research Affiliate at MIT).Paper Abstract:This paper reviews the progress of catalytic pyrolysis of plastic waste and its potential to solve the oil crisis and diminish land pollution. Pyrolysis is the process defining any chemical changes brought about by the use of heat. In recent times, catalytic pyrolysis of plastic waste is used which employs a catalyst to produce high quality oil using a lower temperature and retention time. It has the potential to convert 70-80% of plastic waste into liquid oil which has similar characteristics to conventional diesel fuel: a higher heating value (HHV) of 42-46MJ/kg, a density of 820-845kg/m3, a pour point of (-9) to (-67) °C, a boiling point of 150 to 380°C, a flash point of 26.1–48 °C, a viscosity of 1.7-2.5 mm2/s and a kinematic viscosity of 1.1-2.7 cSt. Thus, the liquid oil from catalytic pyrolysis can be used in several energy-related applications such as electricity generation and as a heating source. Catalytic pyrolysis can be used to eliminate land pollution and upcoming oil crisis because it uses a large quantity of plastic waste to produce a high yield of liquid oil with a very high overall efficiency (i.e.75%).
