PENGARUH VARIASI SUDUT KONDENSOR (0⁰, 15⁰, DAN 30⁰) TERHADAP HASIL PIROLISIS LIMBAH PLASTIK ALUMINIUM FOIL DENGAN DEBIT AIR PENDINGIN 6 LPM
Abstract
Plastic waste is still a serious problem in several countries in the world, not to mention Indonesia. Rubbish from plastic is very large. The use of waste plastic waste is one of the possible alternative ways of producing energy. The purpose of this research is to process waste plastic waste into oil that can be used as fuel. This pyrolysis experiment using alumunium foil plastic waste material as much as 3 kg. Each time the experiment uses 1 kg of tire waste that has been cut to size 5x5 cm. The temperature used in the test is 300⁰C-350⁰C using a heater coming from a gas stove. Cooling water discharge used for 6 LPM, with variation of condenser angle used is 0⁰, 15⁰, and 30⁰. The time required for testing 1 kg of aluminum foil plastic waste takes 100 minutes. The results showed that the highest heat transfer rate was obtained at a 15⁰ angle of 294.87 Watt, after which the angle of 0⁰ was 252.34 Watt and the angle of 30⁰ was 213,78 Watt. The production of oil from aluminum foil plastic waste material weighing 1 kg for each experiment, for the highest oil obtained in the experiment angle 15⁰ produce 309 ml oil and the remaining 309 gr ash. While the angle experiment 0⁰ yielded 292 ml of oil and the remaining ash of 378 gr, and in the corner experiment 30⁰ yielded 224 ml of oil and the remaining ash 489 gr. Characteristics of plastic oil aluminum foil pyrolysis results obtained density value of 0.801 gr / ml, viscosity value of 4.4 mPa.s, calorific value of 10057.89 Cal / g, and flash point of 45.7 ° C.
