摘要

The amount of plastic waste production increases along with society’s rise in plastic consumption. Plastic materials are made of polymers derived from natural gas and naphtha-type petroleum, which are difficult to decompose by soil-decomposing organisms but can be recycled into fuel. One method of recycling plastics is the pyrolysis process, which is divided into two types based on the catalyst used: thermal cracking and catalytic cracking. This research explores the potential use of pyrolysis oil from plastic waste mixed with Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) as an alternative fuel in autos. Research also needs to focus on the pyrolysis process of plastic waste at different temperatures to optimize fuel oil yield and experiments on the effect of plastic pyrolysis oil blends with DMC on autos’ efficiency, fuel quality, and performance. The development of these blended fuels has great potential in reducing dependence on fossil fuels and providing an environmentally friendly solution for future energy needs. Literature studies show that every type of plastic waste has the potential to be converted into fuels with properties similar to petrol, gas, and diesel and can be optimized through the blending of DMC additives.
