RESUMO

In this study, the process of co-pyrolysis of polypropylene (PP) residues with gas-oil was evaluated, varying the temperature and the amount of polypropylene fed to the reactor. The co-pyrolysis is a promising route to minimize the environmental impact caused by the inadequate disposal of plastics, preventing its accumulation in landfields and giving a better use of the non renewable raw material (oil). The polypropylene samples and gas-oil were submitted to the thermal co-pyrolysis in an inert atmosphere, varying the temperature from 400C to 500C and the amount of PP from 0,1 to 1,0g. The influence of the gas-oil was evaluated carrying the co-pyrolysis in the absence of PP. The pyrolysed liquids produced by this thermal treatment were characterized by modified gaseous chromatography in order to evaluate the yield in the range of distillation of diesel. As a result, the increase of PP amount lead to a reduction in the yield of the pyrolytic liquid and to an increase of the amount of solid generated. The effect of temperature increase showed an inverse result. The addition of PP in the reactor showed little influence in the yield of diesel in the co-pyrolysis. On the other hand, an increase in temperature favors the increase of products in this range of destillation. The results show that plastic residue co-pyrolysys is a potential method for chemical recycling of plastic products
