A transition of plastic wastage into liquefied fuels for environmental benefits

Abstract

Now-a-days plastic pollution is omnipresent throughout the environment all over the world, the biggest problem a man if facing is disposition of plastics which has lead to plastic pollution. The intention behind the research is management of plastic wastes and its disposal issues, another main objective of plastic waste management system is safety, and welfare of people and to effectively safeguard the public health. The management of the plastic fraction is one of the most debated issues in the discussion on integrated municipal plastic waste systems. Both material and energy recovery can be performed on such a waste stream, and different separate collection schemes can be implemented. As human's life is becoming more luxurious, the consumption of diesel, commercial fuel and plastics is leading to the "severe energy crisis". Of all the above materials, plastics occupy a great place in causing environmental threats now-a-days it is very much indispensable to use alternative fuel because of energy security, socio-economic reasons and environmental concerns. The aim of the research is to contribute to the debate, based on the analysis of different plastic waste into liquefied fuels. As per the advancement in the technology in science there are various methods of transition of plastic wastes into liquid fuels, One of the best suitable method is the Pyrolysis process of waste plastics into fuel, another advantage of using this method is conserving valuable petroleum resources. It involves catalytic degradation of waste plastic into fuel range hydrocarbon i.e. petrol, diesel and kerosene etc. A catalytic cracking process in which waste plastic were cracked at very high temperature, the resulting gases were condensed to recover liquid fuels. Type of plastics also effect the rate of conversion of into fuel and the results of this process are found to be better than other alternate methods which are used for the disposal of waste plastic which directly reduces pollution in the surrounding. The research article gives the detail study about the process involved in conversion of liquefied fuel. Also in addition it gives benefit to our ecology and environmental balance.
