| dc.description.abstract | This study investigatedthe destructive distillation of'polyethylene hased"-caste material ond to investigate Improvements using catalysts. Via main procedure employed was to set up a destructive distillation reactor in which Liquefied petroleum gas was used for heating, and the improvements in yield and quality when "Magnasiev 370 " used in the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit of the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) and lead sulfide Catalyst on the distillation products. It was .discovered that the thermal degradation without catalyst was faster at 451TC than catalytic degradation at 420"C using the FCC Catalyst. The liquid products at the different operating conditions had similar characteristics, in that they all contained products with boiling ranges of gasoline, kerosene and gas oils. It was concluded that catalyst and temperature have prominent role to play in the enhancement of the degradation of polyethylene materials | |
