The Novosibirsk State University (NSU) has created the first batch of synthetic fuel from non-recyclable plastic, the university's press service reported.
To obtain the new fuel, scientists created a waste processing plant.
Scientists have obtained the first three liters of kerosene. Currently, the optimal operating modes of the capillary reactor are being determined, important catalyst regeneration cycles are being worked out, optimal parameters of the catalytic process are being selected, the catalyst is being selected, the most important indicators of the installation are being monitored, and the resulting product is being analyzed.
The creation process is divided into three stages. First, specialists obtained a mixture of hydrocarbons from non-recyclable plastic using pyrolysis. Then, the resulting mass was separated into fractions according to boiling point. Finally, it was converted into usable fuel.
The finished product was analyzed.
The main thing is that while working out this technology, we continue to improve our skills in working with this special raw material, which is so different from oil. This is a very interesting task for us, since there is indeed more and more plastic waste.
The technology is ready for implementation. The timing of the project depends on the speed of creating catalytic plants for waste processing.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that building materials with a low carbon footprint were developed in Novosibirsk.
