Converting Styrofoam Waste into Fuel Using a Sequential Pyrolysis Reactor and Natural Zeolite Catalytic Reformer

Converting styrofoam plastic waste (SPW) into liquid pyrolysis oil (PLO) using a sequential reactor and natural zeolite catalytic vessel was conducted at relatively low temperatures from 160oC to 260oC complete time, tp of 60-120 minutes. The presence zeolites on reformer intended undergo the second stage degradation gas produced without further heating. This work aims find yield quality PLO that are significantly influenced by feedstocks SPW as catalyst. modification enhances its fundamental characteristics effect thermochemical behavior reactions. Utilizing catalysts TA-ZN (thermal activation) AA-NZ (acid increases fuel. utilization catalyst provided highest yield, lowest wax, smallest solid deposit in shortest tp. with contains higher range hydrocarbon gasoline (C5-C12) styrene, ethylbenzene, methylbenzene styrene compound amount 74.63% heavy fraction (>C20). According analysis all physical properties GC-MS characterization, this lies within comparable conventional commercial kerosene.
