Review of Plastic Waste Management by Pyrolysis Process with Indian perspective
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
The plastics have found its important role in the day-to-day life of human being and industries. The increasing demands and inefficient disposal methods have resulted in the accumulation of these wastes in the landfills. But these landfills require a lot of spaces and further pollute the lands. India generates 5.6 million metric ton of plastic wastes yearly, as reported by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The increased plastic production led to the depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels indirectly. In order to counter these problems, one way is to recycle plastic wastes and convert plastic wastes into fuel. Unfortunately, the recycling of plastics is a costlier method and demands a huge water source which can’t be reused. Meanwhile, the process of extraction of fuel from plastic waste has got the attention of scientists for optimization. The recovery of plastic waste to fuel oil has a great potential as the fuel oil produced had good calorific value. Among all the processes, the pyrolysis process has been reported to be the most efficient method for converting plastic wastes into fuel oil. An attempt has been made to review the pyrolysis process and different plastics. Further, the key process parameters like temperature, pressure and residence time were reviewed along with various end products.
