A car nowadays is not a means of transportation, but rather a luxury, since its maintenance costs a huge pretty penny. Even if we discard the cost of the car itself and taxes on it, then in this case it is not cheap to buy food for an iron horse. the price of gasoline is constantly increasing. The feedstock for gasoline is mainly petroleum, but it can also be produced from many organic wastes.
Necessary
Furnace, retort (metal container with a lid), condenser (one more container), water seal (container with water and two tubes, the “inlet” tube is immersed in water, and the “outlet” tube is located above the water surface), distiller (according to the principle moonshine still). Rubber or other organic waste
Instructions
Step 1
The retort is installed on the stove, loaded with rubber waste and is tightly closed with a lid from which the pipe comes out, which in turn is connected to the condenser, it is connected to the inlet of the water seal by means of a hose on the other side. The outlet of the water seal is connected to the stove, a vicious circle is obtained. This is the simplest schematic diagram of an installation for the production of liquid hydrocarbons.
Step 2
The furnace heats up the retort, from which "pyrolysis" occurs in it, the decomposition of rubber: the sulfur bridges connecting the rubber molecules break, and so on. in general, large molecules fall apart into smaller ones and, being sublimated, go down the pipe to the condenser. Gaseous pyrolysis products in the absence of high temperature accumulate in the condenser in a liquid state, this is "synthetic oil". During this process, a mixture of gases is released, mainly methane. Coming out of the retort, passing through the condenser and the water seal, the gas entering the furnace burns, helping to maintain the process, thereby saving fuel (wood, coal). At the bottom of the retort, after pyrolysis of the rubber, mainly coal remains.
Step 3
gasoline fraction. The boiling point of this fraction is from 30 to 200 degrees Celsius. This gasoline has a low octane number, i.e. high detonation velocity, so it should not be used in an internal combustion engine with a high compression ratio. To increase the octane number, it is necessary to operate with appropriate additives.
