      The use of experimental rate constants for producing a high yield of liquid fuels from the pyrolysis of plastic waste is not widely accepted owing to a lack of compatibility between the different kinetic rate constants responsible for successful conversion reactions. In R software, the Arrhenius law can forecast the ideal combination of reaction rate constants and frequency factors and then perform ...
    • Response Surface Methodology Analysis of Pyrolysis Reaction Rate Constants for Predicting Efficient Conversion of Bulk Plastic Waste into Oil and Gaseous Fuels

      The growing production of plastic waste and improper dumping after use has become a worldwide challenge. This waste is a substantial source of petroleum and can be effectively converted into pyrolytic oil and other useful products. A statistical prediction of the rate constants is essential for optimizing pyrolysis process parameters, such as activation energy (Ea), frequency factor (Ao), temperature ...
    • Sensitivity Analysis of Thermal Degradation of Plastic Waste Using Statistically Assumed Exponential Factors and Activation Energies 

      Un Nabi, Rao Adeel; Hussain, Hammad; Naz, Yasin; Shukrullah, Shazia; Khawaja, Hassan; Irfan, Muhammad; Rahman, Saifur; Jazem Ghanim, Abdulnour Ali (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-04)
      The rise in the production of plastic waste has prompted the exploration of various recovery options instead of landfilling, burning, and other unethical ways of decomposing. The experimentally generated rate constants for the thermal processing of plastic waste do not yield enough liquid fuels and gases for commercial-scale usage. It is imperative to predict kinetic rate constants statistically ...
    • Statistical Optimization of Pyrolysis Process for Thermal Destruction of Plastic Waste Based on Temperature-Dependent Activation Energies and Pre-Exponential Factors

      The massive increase in disposable plastic globally can be addressed through effective recovery methods, and one of these methods is pyrolysis. R software may be used to statistically model the composition and yield of pyrolysis products, such as oil, gas, and waxes to deduce an effective pyrolysis mechanism. To date, no research reports have been documented employing the Arrhenius equation in R ...
    • Statistical prediction and sensitivity analysis of kinetic rate constants for efficient thermal valorization of plastic waste into combustible oil and gases 

      Irfan, Muhammad; Un Nabi, Rao Adeel; Hussain, Hammad; Naz, Yasin; Shukrullah, Shazia; Khawaja, Hassan; Rahman, Saifur; Farid, Usman (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-06)
      Sensitivity analyses of rate constants for chemical kinetics of the pyrolysis reaction are essential for the efficient valorization of plastic waste into combustible liquids and gases. Finding the role of individual rate constants can provide important information on the process conditions, quality, and quantity of the pyrolysis products. The reaction temperature and time can also be reduced through ...
