Abstract

The demand for fossil fuel is at an all t ime h igh worldwide. Annually ~30 billion barrels of petroleu m is being consumed worldwide. In this busy society, transportation is vital and, for transportation, petroleum is an obligation. All the major forms of business, agricultural, exports and imports depend on transportation. Transportation requires petroleum to function. Vehicles in the road require fuels, airway transportation requires Aviation fuel and sea transportation requires fuel oil. Fo r not only transportation but also, petroleum is required to make all kind of daily usable plastics. Deplet ion of petroleum is inevitable at th is current rate of consumption. Emissions released fro m evaporation and co mbustion of these fuel contributes to too many environ mental and health problems; including emitting greenhouse gases that contribute immensely to global warming. Annually ~7 billion tons of carbon dioxide is released to the environment due to petroleum emission. Moreover, when the plastics are discarded into the landfill, it becomes waste plastic and since plastic is non-biodegradable, it can remain in the landfill fo r thousands of year. Waste plastics presence in the landfill causes environmental problems e.g., it can cause soil to decay. Alternative source of energy created fro m Solar, W ind, Hydrogen Fuel, Bio mass Fuel, Bio-Diesel, Green Diesel, Bio-ethanol, and Geo-thermal has been proposed as a solution to these problems. A developed process of thermally breaking down the hydrocarbon of chains of plastic has been studied and imp lemented to produce a liquid fuel in the presence of activated carbon. The activated carbon acts as a filter to absorb dye from the waste plastic during the thermal process to increase the quality of the final product. This fuel can be used for all kinds of transportation, and will emit much less emission compared to the current commercial fuel and it will be cost effective.

利用活性炭将城市比例废塑料转化为液态烃燃料的方法

全球对化石燃料的需求正处于历史最高水平。全世界每年大约消耗300亿桶石油。在这个繁忙的社会里，交通是至关重要的，对于交通来说，石油是一种义务。所有主要的商业形式，农业，出口和进口都依赖于运输。交通运输需要石油来运作。公路车辆需要燃料，航空运输需要航空燃料，海上运输需要燃料油。不仅为了运输，而且为了制造各种日常可用的塑料都需要石油。按照目前的消费速度，石油的消耗是不可避免的。这些燃料蒸发和燃烧所释放的排放物造成了太多的环境和健康问题;包括排放导致全球变暖的温室气体。由于石油排放，每年约有70亿吨二氧化碳释放到环境中。此外，当塑料被丢弃到垃圾填埋场时，它就变成了废塑料，由于塑料是不可生物降解的，它可以留在垃圾填埋场数千年。垃圾填埋场中存在的废塑料会造成环境问题，例如，它会导致土壤腐烂。太阳能、风能、氢燃料、生物质燃料、生物柴油、绿色柴油、生物乙醇和地热等替代能源已被提出作为解决这些问题的办法。在活性炭的存在下，研究并实现了一种热分解塑料链上碳氢化合物的工艺，以生产液体燃料。活性炭作为过滤器，在热加工过程中吸收废塑料中的染料，以提高最终产品的质量。这种燃料可以用于各种交通运输，与目前的商业燃料相比，它的排放量要少得多，而且成本效益高。
