Abstract

The use of hazardous materials like plastic waste can be improved by adding value to viable biomass candidates. The current study is focused on lychee and plastic waste co-pyrolysis for the production of energy and chemicals. Based on this knowledge of the subject matter sample mixture was pyrolysed at four different heating rates: 10 °C min−1, 20 °C min−1, 30 °C min−1, and 40 °C min−1. To establish the pyrolysis reaction process, the data was subjected to kinetic modelling, which predicted thermodynamic parameters. The co-pyrolysis standard method of lychee and plastic waste demonstrated 83% of thermal degradation was achieved. This result proves that the co-pyrolysis of lychee waste and waste plastics can increase the output of bio-oil, reduce carbon coking, improve profitability and cost competitiveness, make industrial production possible and environmentally friendly. The kinetic parameters, such as average activation energy, pre-exponential factors, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy, were shown to be 64 kJ mol−1 to 71 kJ mol−1, 102 s−1 to 1011 s−1, 58 kJ mol−1 to 65 kJ mol−1 and 299 kJ mol−1 to 308 kJ mol−1. The obtained quantitative synergetic kinetic and thermodynamic attributes of lychee and plastic waste may indicate its potential for bioenergy generation.
