Abstract
This study investigates the conversion of waste plastics into useful petroleum product by vacuum pyrolysis method. The raw materials used in the present study has been collected and optimized at a temperature and pressure of 700 ºC and 3.5 Kpa, respectively. Experiment was conducted in a batch scale reactor to collect the products from the pyrolysis reactor. In the presence of catalyst, the hydrocarbon molecules were split up at 80- 300 ºC inside the pyrolysis reactor. This process has been carried out to produce the petroleum products such as oil for transport sector for the future generation. Large amount of yield was obtained by reduction process at a temperature of 600-700 ºC when it is used as single feed. Hence, this method has been carried out to extract oil from waste plastics from commercial and tourist spots and it can be used as a fuel for vehicles in fore coming years in transportation sector.
