Catalytic cracking of polystyrene pyrolysis oil: Effect of Nb2O5 and NiO/Nb2O5 catalyst on the liquid product composition

Um-e-Salma Amjad et al.

Summary: The catalytic cracking of polystyrene pyrolysis oil was investigated using Nb2O5 and NiO/Nb2O5 catalysts in a fixed bed reactor. It was found that both catalysts were able to convert dimers in the pyrolysis oil to monomers, with slightly higher activity observed for the NiO/Nb2O5 catalyst. Increasing the temperature positively affected the yield of gases during the catalytic cracking process.

Tyre pyrolytic oil fuel blends in a modern compression ignition engine: A comprehensive combustion and emissions analysis

Maciej Mikulski et al.

Summary: Previous research on the application of tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO) in combustion engines is outdated and contradictory. This study provides up-to-date combustion analysis results for optimised TPO fractions and evaluates their emissions. The results indicate that modern combustion systems can handle high TPO-content fuels, but the elevated emissions of certain substances raise environmental and health concerns.

Experimental investigation on single cylinder four stroke tri-charged diesel engine using pyrolysis oil at different proportions

Bisane Rajesh et al.

Summary: Plastic waste can be converted into oil and used as alternative fuel. Increasing the intake density can solve the problem of high emissions during engine operation. The tri-charged technology avoids turbo lag, power consumption, and reduction in emissions. The results showed good performance of the tri-charged engine running on pyrolysis oil.

Experimental investigation of performance and emission characteristics of a miniature gas turbine supplied by blends of kerosene and waste tyre pyrolysis oil

T. Suchocki et al.

Summary: The research aims to investigate the effect of blending waste tyre pyrolysis oil with kerosene on the performance and emission parameters of a small gas turbine. It was found that as the fraction of pyrolytic oil in the blends increased, the turbine's performance and NOx emissions tended to increase at high rotational speeds, while SO2 emissions decreased across all blends.

Production of fuel oil and combustible gases from pyrolysis of polystyrene waste: Kinetics and thermodynamics interpretation

Jan Nisar et al.

Summary: The pyrolysis of waste polystyrene over cobalt doped copper oxide catalyst was investigated, showing an increase in activation energy with fraction conversion. Pyrolysis of waste polystyrene was conducted in the temperature range of 340 to 420 degrees C, resulting in a maximum oil yield of 97.15% at 380 degrees C. The major products in gas phase were methane, propene, and butene, while the liquid fraction contained aromatic components such as toluene, benzene, and ethyl benzene.

Combustion engine applications of waste tyre pyrolytic oil

Maciej Mikulski et al.

Summary: Research on combustion engine applications for tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO) is abundant worldwide, but the role of TPO as a fuel for transport applications remains uncertain due to conflicting or ambiguous results. A critical review of over 200 influential research papers suggests that TPO may have potential as a fuel component in marine, off-road, and heavy-duty road applications.
