Abstract: This invention provides a system and method/process for treatment of fuel used in internal combustion engines that advantageously reduces greenhouse gasses and pollutants given off during combustion and provides all the above effects without the need to include additional traditional additives that increase costs and may be environmentally harmful. Nanoparticles of one or more metals are added to a fuel mixture, where the mixture consists of hydrophobic or hydrophilic biofuels of plant or animal origin and/or sulfur containing petroleum distillates. An electro-chemical process/method can then be employed, by passing a current through the mixture, to produce metal nanoparticles. These metal nanoparticles have a wide range of benefits when added to the fuel solution, and allow the user to avoid the use of such traditional fuel additives.

Abstract: A continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polypropylene polymerization is provided. The process integrates refinery operations to provide an effective and efficient recycle process. The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and polypropylene and then passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a naphtha/diesel fraction, a heavy fraction, and char. The naphtha/diesel fraction is passed to a refinery FCC unit, from which is recovered a liquid petroleum gas C3 olefin/paraffin mixture. The C3 paraffins and C3 olefins are separated into different fractions with a propane/propylene splitter. The C3 olefin fraction is passed to a propylene polymerization reactor.
