“…Although the use of lemongrass oil is perfect for reducing emissions, however, the price is still too high for fuel. Investigation of emissions on diesel engines has been carried out with a variety of different fuels [40][41][42]. However, the emission results shown in several previous studies have resulted in higher emissions than in this article.…”

The emissions generated from vehicle engines are one of the problems of global warming worldwide. Conventional oil depletion globally has encouraged various researchers to look for alternative fuel solutions as a substitute for petroleum. Various studies on additive fuels have also studied and most of the fuels have shown perfect results. In this experiment, citronella oil blended into pure diesel fuel to investigate emissions and fuel consumption in a single-cylinder diesel engine. Citronella oil used for diesel fuel blends as much as 0.5%. This test carried out on a single-cylinder engine with three loads (25%, 50% and 75%) and different engine speeds. The results of experiments with diesel-citronella fuel show CO2 emissions lower than pure diesel. Reduction of CO2 emissions from the diesel-citronella mixture for engine loads 25% (0.4%), 50% (0.8%) and 75% (1.9%), respectively. While diesel-citronella fuel blend consumption is higher than pure diesel for each engine load and all speeds tested. Overall diesel-citronella mixed fuel for all tests showed better results compared to pure diesel.

“…Density and viscosity are the main fuel properties which highly affect the engine performance and emissions. Higher density and viscosity may affect the atomization process during combustion, resulting in decreased engine performance [37,38]. The density of liquid hydrocarbon fuels derived from LDPE, HDPE, PP, mixed virgin plastic, and domestic plastic waste was 0.89 g/cc, 0.92 g/cc, 0.86 g/cc, 0.91 g/cc, and 0.86 g/cc, respectively, in comparison to gasoline (0.78 g/cc) and diesel (0.807 g/cc).…”

Plastics usage is rising daily because of increased population, modernization, and industrialization, which produces a lot of plastic garbage. Due to their various chemical structures, long chain polymeric compositions, and thermal/decomposition behavior, it is challenging to recycle these plastic wastes into hydrocarbon fuels. In the current work, domestic plastic waste was pyrolyzed at 473 to 973 K in a fixed bed reactor and compared with the three virgin plastics LDPE (low-density polyethylene), HDPE (high-density polyethylene), and PP (polypropylene), as well as a mixture of the three (virgin mixed plastics). The pyrolysis results showed that maximum liquid hydrocarbons obtained from HDPE, LDPE, PP, mixed plastic, and domestic waste were 64.6 wt.%, 62.2 wt.%, 63.1 wt.%, 68.6 wt.%, and 64.6 wt.% at 773 K, respectively. The composition of liquid fuels was characterized using FTIR and GC-MS, which showed a wide spectrum of hydrocarbons in the C8–C20 range. Furthermore, liquid fuel characteristics such as density, viscosity, fire and flash point, pour point, and calorific value were examined using ASTM standards, and the results were found to be satisfactory. This study provides an innovative method for recycling waste plastics into economical hydrocarbon fuel for use in transportation.

“…According to the literature review, many researchers have studied the use of plastic waste in fuel production as an alternative fuel in compression ignition (CI) engines. This is because plastic waste is a petrochemical product that contains mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms and has a high energy content. ,, Fuel produced from plastic waste can be extracted by the pyrolysis process, which is the most appropriate technology to convert polymer waste into fuel. Previous research had found that the fuel characteristic of waste plastic oil (WPO) was similar to that of diesel fuel, notably, the physical and chemical property characteristics of WPO, depending on the feedstock type and pyrolysis process parameters (e.g., reaction temperature, pressure, residence time, heating rate, and type of catalyst).…”

Utilizing Waste Plastic Bottle-Based Pyrolysis Oil as an Alternative Fuel

In the present work, an experimental investigation is carried out on the use of waste plastic oil produced from waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bottles (WPOB) as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. The physical and chemical properties of WPOB were analyzed, and it was found that it has fuel properties similar to those of petroleum fuels. The WPOB was tested in a diesel engine to evaluate the effect of WPOB on combustion and emissions characteristics. In addition, particulate matter (PM) emissions generated by the combustion of WPOB were analyzed. The combustion of WPOB was retarded with respect to diesel fuel, resulting in higher carbon-based emissions. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results show that the temperature to reach the maximum rate of soot oxidation was lower with WPOB combustion. Because of the significant delay at the start of combustion and increase in emissions, the direct use of WPOB in the diesel engine is not recommended. It is suggested that WPOB can be used as a blend component to reduce the amount of diesel fuel used in diesel engines. Thus, further study on the effect of diesel fuel blended with WPOB on the combustion and emissions characteristics was performed. The results reveal that the maximum WPOB present in diesel fuel to avoid the increase in carbon-based emissions is 20% by volume to keep combustion and emissions characteristics similar to those of diesel fuel.
