The influence of plastic pyrolysis oil on fuel lubricity and diesel engine performance.

This study investigates the viability of using plastic oils derived from High-density polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP), and Polystyrene (PS) as alternative fuels for diesel engines. The research focuses on comparing the physical and chemical properties, fuel lubricity, engine performance, combustion characteristics, and exhaust emissions of these plastic oils. Analysis revealed that PS exhibits different fuel properties compared to diesel, with a carbon range distribution similar to gasoline, while HDPE and PP properties closely resemble diesel fuel.
