Perm Polytechnic scientists have developed a plastic treatment method, which can not only reduce the amount of waste, but also use them to get fuel. The new approach includes the dissolution of plastic waste in gas products. This method minimizes the release of toxins, allowing you to use plastic as raw materials and suitable for gasoline or gas production.
In experiments, scientists mix polyethylene with gas when heated to different temperatures to study in the condition of the mixture to obtain appropriate properties. For example, at 200 degrees, the plastic completely dissolves, forming a homogeneous block that can be used in the industry. Studies have shown that the density and viscosity of the mixture is within normal limits, and Coke's COKE is minimal, making the method safe and effective.
The technology proposes to solve two problems at the same time: plastic treatment and the increase in the output of light oil products. This approach can become the basis for the use of more environmentally friendly waste, currently mainly buried or burned. Scientists are sure that their development will find use in the industry and will help reduce environmental damage.
