Abstract
Identification of new fuel resulting from recovery and recycling of organic products and waste is a priority in the field of alternative energy for vehicles.
In this context, the paper presents the work carried out in order to results obtained after the thermal decomposition by the pyrolysis process of waste polyethylene in order to obtain an alternative fuel. The applied technology for obtaining a fuel from polyethylene is detailed in the paper.
The pyrolysis products were analyzed and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and UV-VIS spectroscopy. The yield of pyrolysis process was also calculated.
After a comparative analysis, as detailed between diesel-fuel, we can estimate that there are premises for use as fuel the product obtained by the method described in the paper.
Keywords: fuel, recycling, pyrolysis, analysis, characterization.
