Study on the conversion of polypropylene waste to oil in a fluidized bed reactor
Catalytic cracking of polypropylene waste with a lab-made catalyst in a fluidized bed reactor has been studied the yield of liquid product is 50%, the research octane number of the gasoline produced from plastic waste is 86, and the centane index of the the diesel fuel produced from plastic waste is 43. The mechanism of catalytic cracking of polypropylene waste is discussed.
