One of the greatest challenges in the world is in the nal disposal of plastics in order to reduce the effect of its polluting potential. Thus, the application of pyrolysis processes in generating products of interest such as fuel oils can be part of the solution. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, oil can enter the supply chain after the cracking process in petrochemical industries. In this context, this work used statistical modeling of the response surface linked to the Normal Boundary Intersection algorithm, aiming at a higher yield of oil production and major selectivity of recycled polypropylene pyrolysis. From the analysis of the mechanisms proposed in the literature with the modeling and optimization in this work, it was possible, from a kaolin mass of 9.12 g and a heating ramp of 19.37°C/min, to obtain higher percentages of aviation kerosene as well as a satisfactory performance.
