Abstract

Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) was applied to convert plastic into oil resources. Polyethylene, Polystyrene, Polypropylene, which are the most commonly used and discharged of various types of plastics, respectively, in the ratio of 1:9 to water and oil under optimal conditions (PE=240°C-40min, PS=270°C-60min, PP=240°C-60min) Was extracted. Then they evaluated their potential for use as liquid fuel. The characteristics of the liquid fuel changed according to the HTL reaction temperature and time. Therefore, it is believed that HTL can be used to convert plastic into oil resources.
