【 摘 要 】

Fast exhaustion of oil resources and increase in energy demand have focused the researchers to find alternate ways to produce high quality oils that could replace fossil fuels. The idea of waste to energy recovery is one of the promising techniques for managing the waste plastic. Waste plastics are attractive for energy conversion because of their high heat of combustion and bulk availability. Exponential rate of increase in plastic production happens in every year due to the wide range of plastic appliances in domestic as well as industrial purposes. The drastic increase in the plastics production naturally lead to large amount of plastic waste that endangers the environment because of their disposal problems. The conversion of plastic to high quality liquid oil through pyrolysis process is highly advisable as the oil produced has high calorific value than that of commercial fuel. This paper describes commonly used verities of plastics and potential of pyrolysis process to produce fuel using them.
