ANALYSIS OF THE CARACTERISTICS OF PLASTIC OIL FOR FISHING TOOLS MADE FROM POLYETHELIENE (PE) AND POLYAMID (PA)

Abstract

The caracteristic of plastic oil include density, viscosity and heating value Plastic waste can be used as raw material for plastic oil by usingpyrolysis process. The resulting plastic oil can be used as an additive or mixturefuel in the engine. In this research, the process of making plastic oil was used twicepyrolysis process. The reactor temperatures in the first and second pyrolysis processes are different respectivelynamely 200 oC and 150 oC. From the results of this research it is known that in the first pyrolysis processwith a reactor temperature of 200 oC, from 25 kg of raw material produces 15.5 liters of plastic oil intime 8 hours. Meanwhile, in the second pyrolysis process with a reactor temperature of 150 oC, from 15 liters of oilThe plastic from the first pyrolysis process produces 11.6 liters of plastic oil in 3.33 minutesO'clock. The characteristics of the plastic oil produced are a density of 771.4 kg/m3, Viscosity0.501 m2/s and calorific value 10518 kJ/kg.
