Hydrothermal liquefaction of plastic packaging waste to crude oil

AI Quick Summary

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) can be used to convert plastics into a product similar to crude oil. This product could be used for fuel production or as a raw material for plastic production. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a process to convert organic matter at temperatures above 200 °C and pressures above 50 bar in an oxygen-free environment. Its main product is a substance similar to crude oil. This product could be used for fuel production or as a raw material for plastic production. Therefore, HTL might present an alternative to conventional methods for the treatment of plastic waste.
