Abstract
La investigación se concentró en el estudio del proceso de pirolisis del plástico consistente en la descomposición térmica. Este proceso permite la obtención de una mezcla de hidrocarburos denominada petróleo ligero, que luego puede ser utilizado como fuente de energía. En la investigación se trabajó con residuos plásticos clasificados en seis categorías: polietilentereftalato (PET), polietileno de alta densidad (PEAD), polietileno de baja densidad (PEBD), polipropileno (PP), poliestireno (PS), policloruro de Vinilo (PVC). Se realizaron pruebas experimentales por separado con cada una de las categorías, excepto con el PVC, en un reactor Batch, en el que se midió temperaturas de operación, tiempo total de reacción, volumen de hidrocarburos líquidos obtenidos, densidad del producto, masa de residuos y se calculó el rendimiento. El medioambiente se beneficia, los desechos plásticos se convierten en energía.
This research was focused on the study of plastic pyrolysis process, which consists of thermal decomposition of these materials, and allows to obtain a hydrocarbon blend, called light petroleum. It can be used as an energy source. The work was made with plastic waste, which were classified into six categories: Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). Each category was treated separately in a batch reactor, except PVC. Each experiment measured operating temperatures, total reaction time, volume of liquid hydrocarbons obtained, product density, residual mass, and finally the performance of the liquid hydrocarbons was calculated. Wasted plastics transformed into energy help environment enormously
