dc.description.abstractThe 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 sensitivity analysis on individual rate constants to estimate the selectivity and quantity of primary pyrolysis products. Sensitivity analysis is a way of determining the effectiveness of individual rate constants in the reaction. This research element is currently lacking in the literature for the cost-effective valorization of plastics into combustible fuels. We are the first to use R software to perform sensitivity analysis on specific rate constants by reducing or raising their initial values to a point where maximum oil yield is attainable in the temperature range of 340°C to 370°C. The primary focus was to save time and cost of extracting empirical rate constants from experiments to produce commercial-scale pyrolytic oil. The H-abstraction, chain fission, polymerization, and scission reactions were chosen due to the high availability of free radicals for maximum oil production. The oil recovery rate improved drastically to 90% at the end of processing time, while the number of byproducts gradually decreased. The k8 rate constant driven reaction is the best-suited condition for industrial-scale pyrolysis of high-density plastics into liquid fuels, with 74% improvement in oil production and 14% improvement in light wax during sensitivity analysis.en_US
