Plastic pyrolysis is a process where plastic waste is heated in the absence of oxygen to produce various useful products.
What is the Composition of Plastic Pyrolysis Products? (3 Key Components)
1. Fuel Oil
Fuel oil is one of the primary products of plastic pyrolysis.
It typically accounts for 50 to 80% of the output.
This oil can be used as a substitute for fossil fuels.
It can be used in boilers, generators, and other industrial heating systems.
Fuel oil can also be refined into gasoline or diesel.
2. Carbon Black
Carbon black is another significant product of plastic pyrolysis.
It typically represents 3% to 30% of the output.
Carbon black is a form of particulate carbon.
It has numerous industrial uses.
It is used as a reinforcing agent in tires and other rubber products.
Carbon black is also used in inks and coatings.
3. Syngas
Syngas is produced in the range of 20 to 35% during plastic pyrolysis.
Syngas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
It can be used as a fuel itself.
Syngas can be converted into various chemicals or synthetic fuels.
It is valuable due to its versatility and energy recovery potential.
Other Considerations
Not all types of plastic are suitable for pyrolysis.
Plastics containing chlorine (like PVC) and oxygen (like PET) are not recommended.
The process can generate wastewater if the plastic waste contains moisture.
The pyrolysis process involves several steps.
These steps include shredding and drying the plastic waste.
Preprocessing is done to remove non-plastic materials.
The actual pyrolysis reaction is followed by distillation and purification of the pyrolysis oil.
Finally, the products are stored and dispatched.
The efficiency and output of the process can be influenced by the design of the pyrolysis equipment.
