ABSTRACT :

The increased demand and high price for energy sources are driving efforts to convert organic compounds into useful hydrocarbon fuels. Although much ofthis work has focused on biomass, there are strong benefits to deriving fuels from waste plastic material. Waste plastic is abundant, and its disposal creates large problems for the environment. Plastic does not break down in landfills, it is not easily recycled and degrades in quality during the recycling process, and it can produce waste ash, heavy metals, and potentially harmful gas emissions if incinerated at high temperatures. However, thermal processes can be used to convert plastics into hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, diesel, aviation / jet fuel, which have unlimited applications in   airline industries, helicopter ,  heavy transportation, and electricity generation.
