Abstract (EN)

The basic aim of this study was to examine the usage of plastic municipal and medical waste, as an alternative source to diesel fuel. For this study; waste plastic materials, obtained from municipal and medical wastes, were used. Waste plastics were transformed to waste plastic fuel by thermal cracking. Municipal and medical waste plastic fuels were blended with diesel fuel at volumetric ratios of 10%, 20% and 50%. Fuel properties of waste plastic fuels and its blends were analyzed in accordance with the standards of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) methods. In addition to fuel properties, engine performance and exhaust emission studies of waste plastic fuel-diesel blends were carried out. Key Words: Engine Performance, Emissions, Fuel Properties, Thermal Cracking, Municipal and Medical Waste Plastic Fuel
