Azz Abdel Hamid Faiad, young Egyptian high school student, has discovered the way to turn the non-biodegradable plastic waste into cleaning burning biofuel. The aluminosilicato (that comes from aluminium, oxygen and silicon) allows this advance, because it is used as catalyst in the process of transformation. It was known the experience of this kind of minerals for the making off the strong glass for high impacts in helicopters.
The contribution of Azz Abdel goes far away. Furthermore, the catalyst, also works for helping in the rotting of plaster polymer that produces methane, propane, and ethane. The young student supports his arguments is a already known type of transformation, but his proposal generates more efficient results of ethanol.
This discovery “can provide a economic method of efficiency for the production of hydrocarbon fuel : cracking nafta of about 40.000 ton per year and hydrocarbon gas near 138.000 ton per year” says Faiad.
The advance is especially useful for Egypt because it can transform the ethanol of the million of ton of plastic waste that the city accumulates in the garbage dump. This will be about 57 millions of euros per years.
