Plastic pyrolysis is a process that converts plastic waste into useful byproducts.
These byproducts have specific uses and applications in various industries.
4 Key Byproducts of Plastic Pyrolysis
1. Fuel Oil
Fuel oil is one of the primary byproducts of plastic pyrolysis.
It is a valuable product that can be used in boilers, furnaces, and other industrial heating applications.
Fuel oil can also be refined further to produce diesel for engines and generators.
The quality and usability of the fuel oil depend on the purity and type of plastic waste used in the pyrolysis process.
2. Carbon Black
Carbon black is another significant byproduct of plastic pyrolysis.
It has a calorific value comparable to high-grade coal.
Carbon black can be used as a solid fuel in either pulverized or briquetted form.
It also serves as a low-cost adsorbent for treating industrial effluents.
Carbon black is a popular pigment choice for inks, coatings, and plastics due to its unique properties.
3. Syngas
Syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, is produced during the plastic pyrolysis process.
It can be used to provide energy for the pyrolysis reactor itself.
Any excess syngas can be utilized to power other industrial processes.
Syngas can be recycled as heating fuel to replace heating oil, reducing reliance on external energy sources.
4. Yield and Factors
The yield of these byproducts from waste plastic depends on several factors.
These factors include the quality, type of waste plastic, and the specific pyrolysis technology employed.
Typically, the process yields 30-80% oil, 20-30% carbon black, and 10-20% gas.
The higher the purity and cleanliness of the waste plastic, the greater the yield of pyrolysis products.
