dc.description.abstractThe 400 million tons of waste plastic are disposed of around the world. A study reported by SINTEF estimates that the Norwegian fishing fleet dumps around 380 tons of plastic material in the ocean each year. This waste is increasing at an alarming rate, threatening aquatic life, polluting the environment, and causing serious diseases. Since this waste includes hydrocarbons and is a massive source for economically producing pyrolytic oil that can replace traditional fuels. To obtain Liquid fuels and gases from the thermal destruction of high-density plastic (HDP) pyrolysis using empirical rate constants is costly and time-consuming. A commercially sustainable quantity of liquid fuel is not achieved. As a result, predicting statistical rate constants (k) which are based on a suitable combination of activation energy (Ea) and frequency factor (Ao), and investigating their sensitivity is a need of time that has not been documented. This study can provide a better insight into the reaction mechanism of HDP and assess the suitable combination of Ea, Ao, and k that can play a significant role in the effectiveness of liquid fuels and gases at a commercial scale. In this study, H-abstraction, chain fission, polymerization, and β-scission reactions have been chosen from literature due to the majority of free radicals. The Arrhenius equation is implemented in R software to predict temperature-dependent rate constants at a fixed temperature (340°C to 370°C). In MATLAB (R2020a) the second-order differential equation solver has been employed to assess how changes in temperature, Ea, and Ao affected the efficiency of species such as oil, gas, and waxes.en_US
