Review of Synthesizing of Fuel from Plastic Waste

Pathan Mujtaba Khan Mustafa Khan, Mohd Junaid

Abstract


Plastics are an important part of our daily life. It is cheap, easy to produce, and its faster rate of production are making it to be produced in larger quantities; on the other hand, plastics play important role in industrial applications also. In that situation, if plastic it is not disposed properly, lots of environmental challenges arise. In that condition, waste plastics need to be recycled; regeneration or its utilization are necessary for human life, environment, and nation. The waste plastic pyrolysis method is commonly used as the process of thermal cracking for producing fuel. The most commonly used catalysts in the literature for pyrolysis include silica-alumina and zeolites for waste plastic. This process is providing as a result of plastic oil, diesel and other useful fuel which are being used as an alternative fuel for engine. The scope of the current research is conversion of plastic waste to useful fuel. This research work also describes the earlier work carried out by previous researchers and authors on fuel from plastic waste.
