Title:
Rapid Catalytic Cracking of Municipal Waste with Simultaneous Hydrogenation to Produce Liquid Fuel
Abstract:
Simplest methods of the municipal waste disposal are exploitation and abandoning this national wealth in the environment. In this study, a new method of cracking municipal waste and producing useful products with a suitable thermal value and also quality for consumption has been developed. For this purpose, a hydrogen gas flow has been injected into a predesigned rotational pyrolysis reactor. Reducing the process time and cost and also increasing the product quality are specifications of this innovation. Sample analyzing of the pilot study products determines the presence of a wide range of hydrocarbons with 5-14 carbons in their molecular structures. This approves the presence of the paraffinic, naphthenic, olefin (lower than the common refinery gasoline) and also aromatic compounds, which are the main compositions of gasoline.
