| dc.description.abstract | Energy is the key of globalization. As the world population and economy grow, higher
consumption results in higher waste packaging ,plastic and paper residues. Pyrolysis offers a way
to recover fuels and other chemical from this fraction. By applying heat to these feedstock into
more valuable products in the forms of gas, liquid and char.
The main objective of this study were to understand and optimize the processes of waste plastic
and rice husk pyrolysis. Pyrolysis of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PE), polystyrene (PS),
cellulose, lignin, silica and moisture has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally
in a pyrolysis reactor. The key factor have been investigated and identified. The cranking
temperature for the PE and PP in the pyrolysis is at 450 degree C, but that of PS is lower at 320
degree C, cellusole is 410 degree C, lignin is 405 degree C and silica is 700-1100 degree C. High
reaction temperature and heating rate can significantly promote the production of light
hydrocarbons. Long residence time also favours the yield of the light hydrocarbon products. The
effects of other factors like type of reactor, catalyst, pressure and reflux rate have also been
investigated in the literature review | en_US |
