Using a composite Catalyst in The gasification process, in-situ Plastic Waste is converted to Energy.

Abstract

Abstract The world is eager to find a solution to reduce the phenomenon of climate change and transition to sustainable and renewable resources in all facets of our lives as we live in this period. Climate change and the emission of greenhouse gases are closely related issues. In that study, we focused on finding ways to reduce municipal management of plastic solid waste and conversion to enhance gases and solid carbon instead of direct incineration or disposal. In order to fracture a variety of plastic debris (PEHD, PELD, PVC, and PS) in a fixed bed reactor system, we created composite materials made of three transition metal oxides (manganese, titanium, and iron). These materials were built using layers of bentonite clay. To enrich and improve gas yields and product quality, the gasification reaction has been set up with customizable, parameter-optimized heating rate, loading, and reaction time settings. For the distribution of composites and products, many characterization techniques, including XRD, TEM, SEM, GC, and EDX (Gas yield and char weight ratio), have been used.
