Abstract
<em>The collection of oil and aluminum is an effort made in order to utilize waste from Aluminum Foil Coated Polyethylene (Al-PE). Meanwhile, pyrolysis is one of the conversion technologies that can be used to treat this kind of waste. The materials that would be used in this research is Al-PE plastic waste. This research aims to determine the effect of fuel consumption rate and particle size on the oil characteristics from pyrolysis of aluminum foil coated polyethylene plastic (AI-pE) waste. The material used in this research is Al-PE plastic waste. The selected particle size variations were 50 × 50 mm and 100 × 100 mm for 130 minutes with variations in fuel consumption rate of 4.77 g/min, 377 g/min and 2.46 g/ min. The resultant pyrolysis and aluminum oil is measured to obtain yield. The results showed that Al-PE pyrolysis oil has a brownish yellow color, distinctive odor, flammability and physical character close to kerosene even to gasoline. The oil yield is between 6.9% wt to 22.4% wt. The highest oil yield and highest heating value obtained from sample A with particle size 50 × 50 mm and fuel consumption rate 4.99 g/min (0.29 kg/h) per kg of Al-PE for 130 min with material density in reactor 27 kg/m3.</em>
Highlights
Plastic as a kind of solid waste is difficult to decompose and at the same time, its volume continues to increase every year
The raw material used in this research is aluminum foil-coated polyethylene waste from Final Disposal Site (TPA) in Piyungan, Bantul Yogyakarta and the water used in this research has a function as a coolant on the condenser
The tools used in this research include 250ml measuring cylinders, stopwatch, glass bottles, one unit pyrolysis batch system capacity of 1000 grams of plastic
Summary
Plastic as a kind of solid waste is difficult to decompose and at the same time, its volume continues to increase every year. Practicality, and flexibility of use, the plastics have more advantages than other materials, such as; lighter, insulators, hard to decompose and cheap in production prices [1]. Population growth, lifestyle and increased of packaging products consumption trigger the increase in the volume of waste plastic. Environment [2] stated that each of the average society produces 0.8 kg of garbage and 15% is the plastic waste. The estimated amount of plastic waste from 240 million population of Indonesia is 28,800 Ton/day. The amount of plastic waste will continue to grow and will be a potential threat to the environment and human sustainability in the future
