Data underlying the research on: Thermal and catalytic pyrolysis of waste plastic heavy distillate into diesel-like product

This dataset contains raw data used for the research "Thermal and catalytic pyrolysis of waste plastic heavy distillate into diesel-like product". Heavy distillate derived from plastic industries has high viscosity and molecular weight making it low valued byproduct. This requires upgrading with catalyst to improve its desirability as transport grade fuel. This study investigated production of diesel-like product from waste plastic Heavy Distillate with and without kaolin catalyst using reaction temperature, heating time and catalyst ratio as selected process parameters. Kaolin was characterized using X-ray fluorescence-XRF spectroscopy.
