Pyrolysis of PE using the Various Catalysts

Polyethylene (PE) is rated first as volume leader in the plastic sector. Due to non-biodegradable hence it poses serious environmental problem. The catalytic cracking of PE was performed with various catalyst i.e. ZSM-5, Zeolite, RB and SPS. The cracking was observed under different Feed to catalyst ratio i.e.1:1 to 5:1. The fluidized bed reactor was fabricated with arrangement to measure the temperature ranging from 100°C to 800°C. The effective of feed to catalyst ratio was found 3:1 at a temperature range of 420°C-510°C and catalyst ZSM-5 gives maximum liquid conversion of waste PE.
