Gas Heated Small Apparatus for Plastic Waste Manage-ment

摘要

In order to reuse the plastic waste we have designed a small apparatus, which can be heated by a gas burner. It is double walled to avoid the wastage of heat by radiation. The plastic heating temperature of the apparatus can be controlled by controlling the gas flow. The plastic waste of all types can be melted out from a outlet on the side. It is poured in water to again change into solid form. The yield is more than 98 %. In this way the plastic can be stored in a small space which otherwise requires very large area. We are studying the effect on quality of roads when this recovered plastic is added to the coal tar. used for construction of roads, for water proofing, etc. We plan further to heat this recovered plastic to high temperature and convert into fuel oil.
