Using isothermal kinetic results to estimate the kinetic triplet of catalytically cracking of HDPE

The Arrhenius parameters and the reaction model of catalytically cracking of high density polyethylene (HDPE) have been estimated from isothermal kinetic results. We introduced a new catalyst that is able to convert waste plastics to fuel oil and introduced new method to record mass decrease with time under pure static condition. A best fit of the theoretical reduced-time plot (RTP) to an experimental one led to the conclusion that ‘contracting cylinder’ model would represent the HDPE catalytically cracking.
