| Summary: | Pyrolysis is one of the best methods to convert plastic waste into pyrolytic oil. Plastic waste High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) have been used as raw materials at different blending ratio for this study. The process is taken place by placing the samples at different blending ratio in the gasification pyrolysis reactor while reaction time is set constant at 90 minutes. As a results, highest yield of pyrolytic oil is obtained from HDPE with the yield of 68%. Calorific value and proximate analysis have been used to analyzed the pyrolytic oil obtained which are 43,430 J/g and 99.8% of volatile matters respectively. It is found that the quality of the pyrolytic oil from HDPE is almost near the commercial diesel. Therefore, pyrolytic oil from HDPE itself without blending is very suitable and can be used as an alternative fuel to substitute the commercial diesel. © 2024, IEICES/Kyushu University.
