“…As a consequence, unconventional fuels may show a high number of olefins. Those fuels are also derived from plastics and are composed of a high amount of oxygenate molecules coming from the polymers themselves, like polyurethane (PUR) and polyamide (PA) [6]. The fuel treatment process, where the nucleofugic heteroatoms composing the raw matter as chlorine in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are substituted by a nucleophile hydroxyl group, is also responsible for unusual composition.…”

“…The fuel treatment process, where the nucleofugic heteroatoms composing the raw matter as chlorine in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are substituted by a nucleophile hydroxyl group, is also responsible for unusual composition. Further, plastics used in the automotive industry are composed of monomers with cyclic shapes as in the polystyrene (PS) polymer, increasing the aromatic content [6]. The peculiar properties of the fuel must be studied because they are driven by the content of the raw materials, by the cracking conditions and by the distillation parameters which depend on technical and financial constraints [7].…”

To check if an unconventional fuel can be burned in an engine, monitoring the stability in terms of composition is mandatory. When the composition of a conventional fuel cannot be measured for practical reason, it can be approximated using the API (American Petroleum Institute) relations (Riazi-Daubert) linking the hydrocarbon group fractions with well-chosen properties. These relations cover only the paraffin (coupling iso and normal), naphthene and aromatic (PNA) groups as they were developed for conventional fuels presenting neglected amounts of olefins and oxygenates. Olefins and oxygenates can be present in unconventional fuels. This paper presents a methodology applicable to any unconventional fuel to build a model to estimate the n-paraffin, isoparaffin, olefin, naphthene, aromatic and oxygenate (PIONAOx) composition. The current model was demonstrated for an automotive shredder residues (ASR)-derived gasoline-like fuel (GLF). The model was trained using real fractions measured with a comprehensive twodimensional gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detector (GC × GC-FID) technique. The lowest cumulated absolute error comparing with the confidence interval of the measured fractions was evaluated to be 12.4%. The model was tested for one fuel composition only, therefore, the error of the calculated fractions will be investigated with other fuels in future work.

Challenges and Alternatives to Plastics Recycling in the Automotive Sector

Plastics are increasingly a preferred material choice in designing and developing complex, consumer products, such as automobiles, because they are mouldable, lightweight, and are often perceived to be highly recyclable materials. However, actually recycling the heterogeneous plastics used in such durable items is challenging, and presents very different scenarios to how simple products, such as water bottles, are recovered via curbside or container recycling initiatives. While the technology exists to recycle plastics, their feasibility to do so from high level consumer or industrial applications is bounded by technological and economical restraints. Obstacles include the lack of market for recyclates, and the lack of cost efficient recovery infrastructures or processes. Furthermore, there is a knowledge gap between manufacturers, consumers, and end-of-life facility operators. For these reasons, end-of-life plastics are more likely to end up down-cycled, or as shredder residue and then landfilled. This paper reviews these challenges and several alternatives to recycling plastics in order to broaden the mindset surrounding plastics recycling to improve their sustainability. The paper focuses on the automotive sector for examples, but discussion can be applied to a wide range of plastic components from similarly complex products.

“…The number of ELVs produced worldwide has now reached 50 million (Jody 2010), and they constitute a major stream of waste in the European Union (EU): approximately 6.34 million were processed in the EU in 2008 (European Commission DG Environment 2012). Automotive shredder residue accounts for approximately 20% to 25% of the weight of an ELV (European Commission DG Environment 2012), and its finest fraction, which may represent up to 50% of the ASR mass, is particularly polluted with heavy metals, mineral oils, and hydrocarbons.…”

Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) is a problematic waste material remaining after shredding and recovery processes of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). Its heterogeneous grain size and composition make difficult its recovery or disposal. Although ASR accounts for approximately 20% to 25% of the weight of an ELV, the European Union (EU)'s ELV Directive (2000/53/EC) requires that by 2015 a minimum 95% of the weight of an ELV must be reused or recovered, including a 10% weight energy recovery. The quantity of ASR is relevant: Approximately 2.4 million tons are generated in the EU each year and most of it is sent to landfills. This article describes a life cycle model of the "TEKNE-Fluff" process designed to make beneficial use of ASR that is based on the results of an experimental pilot plant for pyro-gasification, combustion, cogeneration, and emissions treatment of ASR. The goal of the research was the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to identify the environmental hot spots of the "TEKNE system" and use scenario analysis to check solutions to improve its environmental profile, supporting the design and industrialization process. The LCA was conducted based on data modeled from the experimental campaign. Moreover, different scenarios on shares of electricity and thermal energy produced by the cogeneration system and alternative treatment processes for the waste produced by the technology were compared. Despite the limitation of the research (results based on scaling up experimental data by modeling), impact assessment results are promising and sufficiently robust, as shown by Monte Carlo analysis. The TEKNE technology may become an interesting solution for the problem of ASR management: Besides representing an alternative to landfill disposal, the energy produced could avoid significant impacts on fossil resources depletion (a plant of 40,000 tons/y capacity could produce ∼ 147,000 GJ/yr, covering the annual need of ∼ 13,500 households).
