Abstract
Industrial waste polypropylene (PP) homopolymer and residual fuel oil (RFO) were pyrolyzed together in presence of catalyst ZSM-5 under the atmospheric pressure with different mixing ratios of the feedstocks. The experiments were carried out in a batch reactor at two different temperatures of 500 °C and 600 °C with the blended mixture (PP/RFO) to catalyst (ZSM-5) ratio of 4:1. The effects of blending ratios between the two feedstocks and temperature with respect to the yield of the products oil, gas, and residual coke were determined. The optimum blending ratio of PP and RFO with respect the higher quantity yield of liquid product was found to be 1:1 at 500 °C. The percentages of liquid fuel, gas, and coke were observed to be 74.8%, 10.2%, and 15% at 500 °C.
