Title: Transformation of several plastic wastes into fuels by catalytic cracking

Journal Article · · Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1021/ie970096e· OSTI ID:564128

The thermal and catalytic cracking of several plastic wastes (polypropylene, polystyrene, polystyrene-polybutadiene) dissolved in refinery LCO has been studied in a riser simulator, under operating conditions (catalyst, temperature, contact time, C/O ratio) that are similar to commercial FCC units. The results of the product distribution show the interest of this strategy, which may be integrated into refinery operation for large-scale tertiary exploitation of plastic wastes.
