The widespread use of plastic goods creates many disposal problems and environmental concerns. There is an increasing emphasis on the concept of the circular economy, which may have a significant impact on the demand for plastic raw materials. Post-consumer plastic recycling is the main focus of the country's circular economy. This study focuses on energy recovery from waste plastics as an alternative fuel source to meet the demand of the circular economy. Waste plastic fuel produced through pyrolysis has been claimed to be used as an alternative fuel. This work focuses on determining performance and emission standards for waste plastic fuel (WPF) produced from the pyrolysis of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in a single-cylinder direct injection diesel engine (DIDE).
Oil Waste plastic (WPO) obtained from pyrolysis of plastic waste and municipal waste is one of the promising alternative fuels due to its carbon chain characteristics and physical properties similar to diesel fuel. WPO also contains naphtha, which is similar to gasoline and may not be suitable for diesel engines. Technically, naphtha must be removed from WPO by distillation, and the resulting product is called waste plastic distillate oil (WPOD). This work experimentally investigates the effect of these burnt fuels in diesel engine on the characteristics of combustion and emission of exhaust gases. Both WPO and WPOD fuels contribute more nitrogen oxides than diesel fuel. When the engine runs on these pyrolysis fuels, emissions increase because it delays the start of combustion. Meanwhile, their shorter carbon chains provide a lower smoke index. However, brake thermal efficiency and brake-specific fuel consumption are useful due to high calorific value and cetane index.
