Abstract

The natural catalyst, opalized silicate-tuff, was demonstrated to be an excellent catalyst for the breakdown of plastic waste and produced a high-yield liquid fraction. Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) waste mixture has been catalytically degraded in a batch reactor operating in dynamic conditions, and the obtained liquid fuel is in the petrol and kerosene range. The yield of condensed product formation was higher than 85%. The ASTM distil-lation according to the requirements of the ASTM D86 Standard Test Method was performed. Under ambient pressure, the test method of determining the boiling range of a petroleum product by performing a simple batch distillation has been used. Some physical and qualitative characteristics of the condensed product were determined. The obtained con-densed product, 65% is in the diesel range between 180°C and 320°C. The most common compounds in condensate are paraffin (78%) and aromatic (22%). The quantity of naphthenic is minor.
