In the present work, catalytic co-pyrolysis of rice husk with low density polyethylene (LDPE) was investigated to enhance the amount of gasoline range hydrocarbons in the bio-oil. Zeolite Socony Mobil#5(ZSM-5) was used as catalyst. The specific surface area, pore volume and the average pore size of ZSM-5 were evaluated to be 418.041 m2/g, 0.227 cc/g and 1.628 nm respectively. Optimum temperature for obtaining highest bio-oil yield for non-catalytic co-pyrolysis was 600 °C, resulting in yield of 51.26 %. For catalytic co-pyrolysis, the optimum temperature was 500 °C with a bio-oil yield of 38.87 %. H/C ratio of gasoline range hydrocarbon oil obtained by catalytic co-pyrolysis was 1.21, while the oxygen content was 2.51 %.The results of GC HRMS revealed that, the gasoline range hydrocarbon oil obtained by catalytic co-pyrolysis contained 17.65 % Cycloalkanes, 6.131 % alcohols, 31.75 % esters and 32.68 % alkenes.

The recycling of end-of-life plastics is a problem, since small parts can be returned into circulation. The rest is burned, landfilled or recycled into low-quality heating oil by pyrolysis methods. The disadvantages of this method are the need to dispose the formed by-product, pyrolytic carbon, the poor quality of produced liquid fuel and the low productivity of the method associated with the periodicity of the process. In this work, methods of thermogravimetry and chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) have been used to study the co-pyrolysis products of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and oxygen-containing substances at the pressures of 4–8 MPa and temperatures of 520–620 °C. Experiments have highlighted the conditions needed for producing of high-quality liquid fuel. Initial data have been prepared for the design of a continuous pyrolysis reactor to dispose polymer waste for the production of bio-oil which would be available to enter the petrochemical products market.

Abstract In this study, the investigation on effect of plastic during co-pyrolysis with biomass has been carried out in a fixed reactor. Pyrolysis of neem wood bark (NB), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and their blends at different ratios is performed in order to evaluate the product distribution. The effects of reaction temperature, NB-to-LDPE blend ratio on product distribution and chemical compositions of bio-oil are examined. The co-pyrolysis of NB and LDPE increased the yield and quality of the bio-oil. The experiments are conducted under different LDPE addition percentage such as 20%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 80%. Under the optimum experimental condition of 60% addition of LDPE and temperature of 450°C, the maximum yield of bio-oil (64.8 wt%) and hydrocarbon (75.2%) are achieved with the lowest yield of oxygenated compounds. The calorific value of the co-pyrolytic oil is found to be higher than that of NB pyrolytic oil. The relation between NB and LDPE during co-pyrolysis has been validated by GC–MS analysis, which shows in decrease of oxygenated compounds.
