Fuel gas production from asphaltene and recycled polyethylene

Like other heavy oils, asphaltene is comprised of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and a small amount of vanadium and nickel. Polyethylene is the most common plastic that consists of high molecular weight hydrocarbons. Since this compound is a very good electrical insulator, it is widely used in the electricity industry. Gasification of asphaltene and polyethylene has not been extensively studied up until now. Few studies have more on...
