    We can convert Plastic back into usable Fuel.
    This Process is Called " PLASTIC PYROLYSIS " Also Known as DEPOLYMERIZATION.
    In this process long Polymer molecules (plastic) are broken down into shorter chains of Hydrocarbons with the help of heat and pressure.
    A catalyst is added to lower the temperature and increase the yield.
    it's a Complex Process and also dangerous because we are dealing with Hydrocarbons.
    but
    For Understand Purpose The Process of Plastic Pyrolysis means Simply Extracting The Usable Fuel Oil From Waste plastic.
    In order to extract the oil, plastic needs to be heated to over 400 °C, in absence of oxygen At this temperature, the long-chain molecules from the plastic are cracked and produce synthetic crude oil
    That's it.
    And it is very hard to explain that complex process but If you want to learn more about this topic Here are some links to other websites and videos :

The absolute best gain would be elimination of plastic waste, thus helping to protect the environment in a meaningful way. That alone makes it a worthy cause. Thank you for this video.

  • @drakekoefoed1642
    @drakekoefoed1642 Год назад +4

    we know the heat generated by burning plastic drives pyrolysis and creates more heat, so this process is losing the energy shredding and compressing. perhaps flue gas could be used to melt the plastic, then it is sent into the chamber as a liquid. the gas off the liquid, air included, would be combined with the pyro gas and go direct to a turbine generator. it might still fall short of what plasma recycling can do, but it could conceivably power a small system far from a power grid, perhaps one that burns up the huge piles of unsold synthetic fiber (plastic) clothes. of course, not allowing things to be made and wasted in the pursuit of profit would help too.

      engineering a reactor like this would be interesting; it would need to be a column elevated above the ground so that an array of concentrating mirrors can focus on it. Just like the solar thermal molten salt to steam method of generating electricity. On that note perhaps you can have a co-gen facility where the molten salt is used to heat the pyrolysis chamber; and residual heat left over when there is no more plastic to pyrolyze goes towards generating electricity. IE when no plastic waste it generates electricity when steam; when waste needs to be pyrolyzed molten salt is sent to heat the pyrolysis chamber.

If we value clean environment, then we will make an effort to recycle glass bottles and make supply chains work in a way to do it sustainably. We do it in our own lives. We dont just buy the cheapest products and dont make an effort with the things we value. The same goes for recycling.

    1, Pyrolosis needs no additives. Just heat the plastic and it begins to turn into gas.
    2, By using the gas produced to run the burner, the system requires little or no resources to power it.

    • @weeveferrelaine6973
      @weeveferrelaine6973 Год назад

      Sulphur is only a concern if the plastic molecule you are making the oil from would have the element sulphur in it. Otherwise, there's no way it could be in the oil. If it does contain sulphur, the sulphur gas should be separable from the oil at certain temperatures, if you staged the distillation or condensing.
      Carbon black is a popular pigment. You can add it to anything that uses pigments, and even concrete, if you want black concrete, or pottery, for black pottery. It is a very flame resistant powder, so it can improve the thermal properties of some things, as well as you can cement it together to make a bad form of pencil lead.

      What matters is whether the process produces a profit. If the waste material is free, and the refined products produce more income than it costs to maintain the refinery, then it's a win-win-win.

    @3:55 "Pyrolysis of plastic can never be sustainable."
    It can be sustainable in the right circumstances, where there already exists an excess source of clean fuel or heat. A good example would be industrial processes which require a lot of heat to be cooled off. Another viable option is using geothermal energy. Perhaps the most practical use is for small scale pyrolysis by farming communities, using biomass fuels, which are usually carbon neutral waste products. Here's an example. It may not be the best example, but it works sustainably, helping to fuel their community and remove plastic waste from their environment: ruclips.net/video/TFuTCpCVSbM/видео.html

      I think that it all comes down to the meaning of words (semantics). I believe that original statement is correct on its face, but a better and more useful way of describing the reality would be to say "Pyrolysis of plastic can be sustained for as long as we have plastic waste.". I think that would have been a better choice of words in that context.

      @lindsaydempsey5683 3 года назад +1

      Looking at this positively, I'm a proponent of molten salt reactor systems (MSR's), they would be an excellent source of high temperature heat to drive the pyrolysis process and do so with emitting carbon. In addition there would be further opportunity to integrate the heat coming out of the condensation processes back into the main power cycle further improving overall thermal efficiency.

    • @JoesWebPresence
      @JoesWebPresence 3 года назад +1

      Yes @@lindsaydempsey5683 Thank you for your input. the language used is important. I like that you've used the words "reality" and "context" because the original statement is only really true out of context and from an ideal starting position. We will have plastic waste as long as there is a petrochemical industry, as it is a byproduct of oil refinery. It's just about how efficient (or inefficient) the refining process is.
      So long as we do have an abundance of plastic waste, and heat sources we could use, then pyrolysis can be sustained so long as it is done efficiently and at an appropriate scale. While oil remains cheap and available, it won't make much financial sense to do this industrially unless it was subsidised, as even if you have a heat source going begging, it would be more profitable to refine crude oil with it, but where this would require long transportation chains, such as in Iceland, it might one day make more sense to use the waste plastic already shipped there as the hydrocarbon source rather than shipping it away again.
      In reality, the small scale operations on remote islands or in isolated communities holds more promise, neatly solving the particular issues they face locally. I could see that being scaled up for larger remote communities such as Iceland, where they have cheap geothermal energy, or perhaps for somewhere sunny or windy where they could harness renewables. The fact that they could cut out long tanker journeys from the equation would be the real saving, making it a potentially more sustainable solution, especially when the energy that would have been used in the transport of waste plastics is factored in.
      It's a solution, and sustainable isn't really a relevant concept in this context, as we'd ideally want the source of plastic waste to eventually dry up. Then, for true sustainability, the pyrolysis process could switch to using biomass as both the fuel source AND the hydrocarbon source, as shown in this other video: ruclips.net/video/3K1zWAYDvMA/видео.html

      @@JoesWebPresence I agree with your comments, this is an opportunity where you want to be so successful that you do yourself out of a job. On the concept of sustainability in context, your comment here nails that nicely. "... the original statement is only really true out of context and from an ideal starting position.", that's the crux of it.
      The problem of plastic waste is multifaceted, I don't think that there is one 'best solution', but we do have a range of technologies a policy options that can really move the dial on this issue. IMO we need to use less where we can, use reusable containers where practical, where we can't use a deposit system that gets bottles and cans back for recycling as hi-spec material. Then at the bottom of the pile, pay a bounty per kg for general plastics that may not be recyclable and send those for pyrolysis and adding that product back into the oil and gas supply chain. How can we raise the cash to cover the net costs of such an endeavour? Simply levy $/kg charge on all plastics that cannot be easily recycled that has to be tied directly to the net cost of running the plastics recovery program. The trick here is to create incentives for everyone to be more efficient and effective, not simply punish those industries that some people don't like.
      The levy mentioned in the previous paragraph could fund/partially fund automated plastics recovery schemes from harbours and rivers like Mr Trash Wheel. It could also partially fund improvements in city stormwater infrastructure that would allow plastics to be recovered instead of simply discharging them to rivers and harbours along with the stormwater. I can't tell you which of these would be most economic or most effective. Personally I would favour as open a program as you can and see what works best, reducing costs and becoming more effective over time.

    Solar evacuated tubes could be used to melt plastic if you don't have access to shredders and condensers. The melted plastic can then be injected into the focal point of a fresnel lens. This lense can be adjusted depending on the type of plastic being utilized, because they can get over a thousand degrees Fahrenheit. The plastic vaporized at the focal point will climb into a condensation columb.

      LOL! Same response to every video that you need an external heat source for is a Fresnel lens... How many Fresnel lenses have you seen in any commercial application? NONE! Theres a reason for this. It introduces complexities that are near impossible to overcome. for one the rotation of the earth ands it's orbit around the sun constantly change the position of the focal point. Another thing is the suns intensity is always changing and not always available. Any commercial operation has quotas and deadlines. Are you going to tell your customers "sorry no fuel this week, it's raining" And the last thing is to scale it up introduces complexity that no other heat source has to deal with.

      @@PrinceofWalesisland if you're telling me that there isn't technology available that can make mechanical micro adjustments to the solar focal point then I don't know what you're talking about. Also in the process of pyrolysis a lot of volatile gases will be created, they can easily be stored and utilized as the heat source during times without sunlight. burning additional sources of fuel to heat the reaction is counterintuitive to the process, because what's the point of burning more fuels than you create? Just because you haven't seen it applied to commercial applications yet doesn't mean that it can't be in the future.
