Abstract

More than ever,the globe is currently dealing with a serious problem of plastic garbage.Only15% of the 400million tonnes of plastic generated annually at this time are recycled,despite the fact that global plastic production is still rising. Even though recycling rates have been rising steadily over the past 30years,the rate of global plastic production is much higher, which means that more and more plastic is finding its way into landfills,oceans,dump sites,and finally the environment, where it causes severe environmental pollution and the extinction of some important species, all of which harms the ecosystem Better solutions for plastic waste's final disposition are required to supplement existing recycling efforts and assist us to manage the issue.Pyrolysis plastics are chemically disassembled into their constituent parts during pyrolysis.The main outputs are a crude oil-like liquid that may be burned as fuel and other feedstock that can be employed in a variety of novel chemical reactions to create a closed-loop system.The experimental results on the pyrolysis of thermoplastic polymers are discussed in this paper as was found that the physical properties of the pyrolysis oil can be similar to some used petroleum fuels like diesel,kerosene,gasoline,and other used oil.After testing the viscosity and density and flash point for two different samples with different conditions it is found that different conditions can create different results which will enable us to control the quality of the produced.The results of viscosity were found to be1.43 and1.51cSt and density with results of 0.8381and0.8675g/cc and the flash points were-20and4°C.
