Abstract: Catalytic pyrolysis of waste plastic and biomass using a catalyst such as Zeolites has been carried out to maximize the yield pyrolysis oils as a drop-in replacement for commercial liquid fuels such as diesel and gasoline. The condensation of pyro-gas is carried out at three different temperatures in three different bottles attached in series with the reactor. Due to the same, high-quality fuel is obtained. The obtained wax seems to be very good quality also. The results showed that the effective conversion of the real-world waste plastic could be achieved with a significant concentration of gasoline range hydrocarbons obtained.
