The experimentation was a completely randomized design (DCA) with a bifactorial arrangement and three repetitions; The types of plastics were: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) subjected to two temperatures (350 °C and 500 °C) ; and 500 g of plastic per test placed in the reactor for 30 minutes. As a result, a GPC of 0.069 kg/inhab/day was obtained, 16% below the national average, with HDPE being the most generated with 31% of all plastics. The construction of a batch model reactor with a capacity of 15 liters allowed us to observe that at 500 °C a higher liquid fraction was obtained (49.9 %), while the order of performance depending on the type of plastic was: PS > (LDPE = HDPE) > PP > PET; on the liquid fuel, density and API degrees were determined. The average liquid yield was greater than 50 %, with the exception of PET plastics, with yields of less than 5 %. |
