Conversion of plastic wastes to alternative fuel using G2F system

Recovery of plastic wastes from dumpsite as refuse-derived fuel and its utilization in small gasification system.

An effort to utilize solid wastes at dumpsite as refuse-derived fuel (RDF) was carried out. The produced RDF briquette was then utilized in the gasification system. These wastes were initially examined for their physical composition and chemical characteristics. The wastes contained high plastic content of 24.6-44.8%, majority in polyethylene plastic bag form. The plastic wastes were purified b...

Characterization and Production of Fuel Briquettes Made from Biomass and Plastic Wastes

In this study, the physical properties of briquettes produced from two different biomass feedstocks (sawdust and date palm trunk) and different plastic wastes, without using any external binding agent, were investigated. The biomass feedstocks were blended with different ratios of two waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) plastics (halogen-free wire and printed circuit boards (P...

Recycling Techniques of Polyolefins from Plastic Wastes

Disposing of plastic wastes to landfill is becoming undesirable due to legislation pressures, rising costs and the poor biodegradability of commonly used polymers. In addition, incineration meets with strong societal opposition. Therefore, recycling either mechanical or chemical, seems to be the only route of plastic wastes management towards sustainability. Polyolefins, mainly polyethylene (LD...

Feedstock recycling of plastic wastes in cokemaking

The carbonization of coal to produce metallurgical coke is an alternative route for the feedstock recycling of plastic wastes of different structures and origins. Individual plastics or mixed plastics of domestic origin can be incorporated into typical coking blends as secondary raw materials. The effects of the composition of the plastic wastes on the thermoplastic properties of coal, coking p...
