UJI PERFORMANSI ALAT DESTILASI UNTUK PEMURNIAN MINYAK DARI LIMBAH PLASTIK

In everyday life the use of plastic materials is very dominant. The this material from year to has greatly increased, which resulted in an increase waste. Various parties have conducted research reduce waste into something that can added value, including converting alternative energy sources form fuel. Handling be done by recycling it heating a reactor so becomes liquid oil, then oil purified using distillation apparatus. This study aims determine performance refining equipment processing Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) used as method test for heated with Testing purification apparatus was carried out 5 times, means each being put totaling 3,500ml time testing, observations showed results tests 1 produced refined = 1,592ml, 2 1.627ml, 3 1.609ml, 4 1.616ml, 1.319ml. total amount is: 7,768ml and average temperature 184.6oC.
