Towards fuels production by a catalytic pyrolysis of a real mixture of post-consumer plastic waste

The contribution provides a valorization alternative for rejected plastic wastes from mechanical-biological treatment (non-recyclable material) via an in-situ catalytic pyrolysis process focused on the production of liquid fraction with similar properties to traditional fuels (i.e., gasoline, kerosine, and diesel). According ASTM recommendations, small samples without prior physical separation, fuel identification was carried out by Simulated Distillation along hydrocarbon types analysis complemented CHNS-O Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Two structures were employed named Sepiolite Montmorillonites, both K10 K30, which after simple heat stabilize structure, characterized analyze main affecting activity product yields morphological acidity properties). A whole screaming products analogy petroleum industry is presented. Such approach allows real evaluation studied technology in current energy scenario.
