Contribution to the production and physicochemical characterization of pyrolytic oil from used inner tubes for the production of conventional fuels in congo republic (rc).

Nowadays, plastic materials have become omnipresent in our daily lives due to their light weight, strength, and low cost. They are used in a wide range of applications such as packaging, clothing, electronic equipment, furniture, and more. However, their widespread use comes with a serious environmental downside, as a large portion of plastic waste ends up in nature or landfills, contributing to land and marine pollution. Recycling plastic waste has therefore become a necessary solution to reduce its ecological impact. The aim of this study is to characterize the pyrolytic oil produced from used plastics (specifically inner tubes). The method used to produce this oil is slow pyrolysis. After extraction, the oil was characterized based on parameters such as color, density, viscosity, and pH.
