In Tomsk learned to create gasoline from coffee cups

Tomsk scientists have made a breakthrough in the field of fuel production, having learned to produce gasoline from available materials, for example, from coffee cups or food containers. This discovery could be a solution to the problem of dependence on oil reserves and help cope with rising gasoline prices. “The plastic waste is heated in a reactor to 470°C and held for five minutes, then cooled. This method allows you to obtain gasoline from plastic, demonstrates the process of innovative development senior researcher at the Institute of Petroleum Chemistry Nikita Sviridenko. Despite the success in getting liquid fuel from plastic waste, there is a problem with its quality. The resulting mixture is similar to a mixture of diesel and gasoline and may contain unwanted elements such as nitrogen, sulfur, bromine and chlorine, which can damage the engine. “Heteroatoms in fuels can corrosion equipment and harm the environment. The exception to food plastics, which rarely contain such elements, is PVC, says junior researcher at the Institute of Petroleum Chemistry Hoshim Urazov. The process of processing plastic into fuel has limitations. For example, heating and melting PVC tile is dangerous to health. However, with the right choice of raw materials, the development of Tomsk scientists can be very useful. “In some regions, new recycling technology could simplify waste management and fuel production. The resulting liquid product does not contain sulfur and nitrogen, which allows it to be used to dilute oil fractions and simplify the processing process at oil refineries. Nikita Sviridenko, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Petroleum Chemistry The final stage of the technology is hydroprocessing using catalysts based on nickel and molybdenum of Russian production. After that, plastic gasoline can be used in cars.
