Abstract

The escalating accumulation of plastic waste demands not only scalable but integrative conversion solutions. Among thermochemical routes, catalytic pyrolysis has emerged as a promising pathway to produce gasoline-range hydrocarbons from plastic polymers compatible with spark-ignition engines. This review critically evaluates recent advancements in pyrolysis of key plastics polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with a focus on fuel yield, hydrocarbon distribution, and engine-level performance. Comparative analysis reveals PP as the most viable feedstock, achieving up to 85% liquid yield and producing oil with high Research Octane Numbers (RON 85–95), outperforming PE and PS in combustion efficiency and emission compliance. However, persistent challenges such as fuel instability, catalyst deactivation, and elevated aromatic emissions particularly from PS complicate real-world deployment. The review further dissects the interplay between catalyst type, reactor design, and post-treatment, highlighting how these variables modulate product quality and engine operability. Notably, 10–20% PP/PE-derived pyrolysis gasoline blends demonstrate near-parity with conventional gasoline in Brake Thermal Efficiency and regulated emissions, without requiring engine modifications. This work bridges molecular-level reaction chemistry with combustion diagnostics and policy-aligned emission metrics, offering a rare multiscale synthesis. By articulating process-emission-performance trade-offs, it provides a strategic reference for researchers and practitioners aiming to scale waste-to-fuel systems within circular economy frameworks.

Abstract

Topographically, the Mandailing Natal district is divided into lowland areas which are coastal areas with an elevation of 00 -20 covering an area of ​​160,500 Ha (24.24%). One of the drivers of economic growth in Mandailing Natal district is plantations. Plantation plants in the Mandailing Natal district can develop coffee, cinnamon, coconut, candlenut, sugar palm, and cloves. However, the level of absorption of agricultural technology is still not as expected, especially for coffee farmers in Gunung Tua village, Mandailing Natal Regency, making coffee productivity from this area less than optimal. From the survey results and discussions with coffee farmer partners in the town of Gunung Tua Mandailing Natal, it was found that there were several problems in the post-harvest process, and one of them was the peeling of the coffee bean skin. So far, most coffee farmers use a coffee peeler manually with a 20 kg/hour capacity and require quite a high operational cost. Therefore, the service implementation team and coffee farmer partners agreed to make a 100 kg/hour coffee peeler machine and an electric motor drive based on these conditions. Test data in the field shows that for a coffee peeler with a capacity of 100 kg/hour, only one liter of fuel is needed to peel 400 kg of coffee beans. This, of course, makes a significant reduction in production costs in the post-harvest process. It is hoped that this machine can work optimally to reduce the production cost of coffee peeling and increase the income of coffee farmers in the village of Gunung Tua Mandailing Natal.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of biodiesel fuel from dimethyl ester on four-stroke stationary diesel engines' performance and exhaust emissions. Tests were carried out using B10 and B30 fuels with engine speed variations and load variations without modifying the engine. The results showed that the torque, power, and thermal efficiency tended to decrease when using B10 and B30. In addition, the specific fuel consumption has increased when the engine uses B10 and B30. But exhaust emissions of CO and unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) decreased NOx and increased CO2 when the engine uses B10 and B30. This research also obtains the correlations and regression equations involving engine performance parameters.

Abstract

This research examines the performance of a Diesel engine that uses alternative fuel biodiesel from a mixture of rubber seeds with plastic waste pyrolysis and diesel oil. The plastic waste used is plastic bottle caps, which are processed by pyrolysis to obtain oil. One of the objectives of mixing biodiesel with plastic waste pyrolysis oil is to increase the calorific value of rubber seed biodiesel. The calorific value of rubber seed biodiesel is 39.95 kJ/kg, and the calorific value of plastic waste pyrolysis oil is 46.55 kJ/kg. Mixing rubber seed biodiesel with plastic waste pyrolysis oil increases the calorific value of rubber seed biodiesel by around 9.63%-13.63%. Experimental results show that there is a reduction in exhaust emissions when using biodiesel for opacity of 7.51-66.08%, CO 12.5-50%, HC 7.14-62.96% and an increase in CO2 emissions of around 3.08-84.62%. Tests using biodiesel were carried out without modifying the Diesel engine.

Abstract

This study reviews the performance and emissions of compression ignition (CI) engines using Calophyllum inophyllum (CIME/tamanu)-based biofuel additives through a narrative review of the latest international literature. Inclusion criteria encompassed CI engine test studies reporting efficiency metrics (BTE, BSFC) and key emissions (CO, HC, NOx, smoke/PM) for CIME blends (B10–B100) both without and with additive/mitigation strategies. In general, compared to diesel, CIME reduced CO, HC, and smoke/PM, with a trade-off increase in NOx. The addition of oxygenated additives (e.g., n-pentanol, dimethyl carbonate) and ignition improvers (e.g., DTBP) tends to improve combustion quality, reduce BSFC, and suppress CO/HC; while the application of approximately 10% EGR effectively reduces NOx with a moderate penalty on HC/CO/smoke. Nano-additives (graphene/MWCNT) show potential for increasing BTE and reducing smoke, but present issues of dispersion stability and safety/environment. The most balanced performance generally occurs at low–medium blends (≈B10–B20) combined with oxygenated additives and EGR-based NOx control, accompanied by proper injection calibration. From a sustainability perspective, C. inophyllum—as a non-food source with high FFA pretreatment requirements—has the potential to support transportation decarbonization, although industrial-scale success depends on supply chains, policies, and LCA/TEA results. Further studies are recommended on real-world test cycles, long-term durability, aftertreatment compatibility, and comprehensive environmental assessment.

Abstract

Studi ini menganalisis pengaruh penambahan metanol pada minyak pirolisis limbah plastik terhadap emisi gas buang mesin Otto stasioner sebagai upaya meningkatkan kualitas pembakaran bahan bakar alternatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh fraksi metanol dalam bahan bakar minyak pirolisis limbah plastik terhadap emisi HC, CO, CO₂, O₂, dan nilai lambda pada mesin Otto stasioner serta mengidentifikasi komposisi campuran optimum berdasarkan kinerja emisi. Pengujian dilakukan pada tiga putaran mesin yaitu 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm, dan 2500 rpm dengan parameter emisi yang diukur meliputi HC, CO, CO₂, O₂, dan nilai lambda. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa campuran 5% metanol dengan 95% pirolisis plastik memberikan performa emisi terbaik, ditandai dengan kadar HC dan CO yang lebih rendah, CO₂ lebih tinggi, serta O₂ yang lebih rendah dibandingkan campuran lainnya. Sementara itu, pada campuran 10% dan 15% metanol terjadi peningkatan emisi HC dan CO serta penurunan CO₂, yang menandakan pembakaran kurang sempurna. Dengan demikian, penambahan metanol dalam jumlah terbatas mampu meningkatkan efisiensi pembakaran dan menekan emisi berbahaya dari mesin Otto stasioner berbahan bakar campuran pirolisis plastik.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of thermoelectric cooler driven by solar energy in Medan city, Indonesia. This cooler able to use in a remote area where electricity is still not available. The cooler could be used to store beverage that must be stored at low temperatures to maintain the freshness such as drink cup. The solar thermoelectric cooler is based on the principles of a thermoelectric module or Peltier effect to create a hot side and a cold side. The cold side of the thermoelectric module is utilized for cooling purposes to the cooling space. The heat from the hot side of the module is rejected to ambient surroundings by using heat sinks and fans. The solar thermoelectric cooler was experimentally tested for the cooling purpose. Experimental results showed that the solar thermoelectric cooler could reduce the temperature of the drink cup from 26oC to 15oC in approximately 40 min. The maximum COP of the cooling system during the experiment was calculated and found to be about 0.356. The effect of weather conditions on the COP value was about 85.90%.
