Waste polyethylene (PE) is classified as waste low
density polyethylene (LDPE) and waste high density polyethylene
(HDPE) according to their densities. Pyrolysis of plastic waste may
have an important role in dealing with the enormous amounts of
plastic waste produced all over the world, by decreasing their
negative impact on the environment. This waste may be converted
into economically valuable hydrocarbons, which can be used both as
fuels and as feed stock in the petrochemical industry. End product
yields and properties depend on the plastic waste composition.
Pyrolytic biochar is one of the most important products of waste
plastics pyrolysis. In this study, HDPE and LDPE plastic wastes were
copyrolyzed together with waste olive pomace. Pyrolysis runs were
performed at temperature 700°C with heating rates of 5°Cmin.
Higher pyrolysis oil and gas yields were observed by the using waste
olive pomace. The biochar yields of HDPE olive pomace and LDPEolive
pomace were 6.37 and 7.26 respectively for 50 olive
pomace doses. The calorific value of HDPEolive pomace and
LDPEolive pomace of pyrolysis oil were 8350 and 8495 kCal.
