ABSTRACT
A process for converting waste plastics to hydrocarbon fuels. Chlorine from PVC is first removed by heating the molten material with coal and additives. The molten product is then passed over a surface at 350°C in the presence of coal and other additives. The hydrocarbon products volatilize and are then condensed and fractionated. Operated on a commercial scale in Nagpur, India, since 2005.
