The proposed research project aims to understand the chemical mechanisms during pyrolysis of waste oils, as well as mixed waste oil and plastics streams, for the production of fuels. The interaction between competing mechanisms and the development of a continuous process for fuels production from the pyrolysis of waste oil, grease and plastics will be studied with the objective of identifying operating conditions maximizing the production of high-value products. The project will improve the access of undergraduate students from underrepresented minority groups to research and facilitate international collaborations on environmental sustainability.The proposed research is motivated by the need to better understand the mechanism of waste oil pyrolysis and the effects of the temperature profiles on the product distribution. The focus will be on studying the pyrolysis of orange grease extracted from municipal waste to convert it into fuel. The development of brown and orange greases as a fuel source can have a significant effect on eliminating them from municipal waste streams. That benefit will be multiplied by adding waste plastics as a feedstock and studying the pyrolysis of streams consisting of mixed waste oil and plastics as a source of petrochemicals and fuels. The work can be extended to other sources of waste oil, plastics, rubber, and other materials that currently are buried in landfills or pollute the environment. The fundamental knowledge on chemical reaction mechanisms will enable the development of a pilot plant by selecting the best reactor types and separation processes without excessive trial and error. The proposed project will contribute to the establishment of an energy track in the Environmental Science program at CUNY-Medgar Evers College, enable international cooperation, and help prepare students to enter the workforce or start new businesses. The project will offer opportunities for students to be involved in research and increase the retention rates of minority students in a STEM field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

拟议的研究项目旨在了解废油热解过程中的化学机制以及混合废油和塑料流以生产燃料。竞争机制之间的相互作用与从废油，油脂和塑料热解的连续生产过程之间开发的相互作用将进行研究，目的是确定最大程度地生产高价值产品的工作条件。该项目将改善来自代表性不足的少数群体研究和促进国际环境可持续性合作的本科生的机会。拟议的研究的激励是有必要更好地了解废油热解的机制以及温度剖面对产品分配的影响。重点是研究从市政废物中提取的橙油脂的热解，以将其转化为燃料。棕色和橙油脂作为燃料源的发展可能会对从市政废物流中消除它们产生重大影响。将废物塑料作为原料和研究由混合废油和塑料作为石化化学物质和燃料来源的流的热解的添加，并研究该益处。这项工作可以扩展到其他目前埋葬在垃圾填埋场中的废油，塑料，橡胶和其他材料的来源或污染环境。关于化学反应机制的基本知识将通过选择最佳的反应堆类型和分离过程而没有过度反复试验和误差来实现试点植物的发展。拟议的项目将有助于在Cuny-Medgar Evers学院的环境科学计划中建立能源轨道，启用国际合作，并帮助学生准备进入劳动力或创业新业务。该项目将为学生提供参与研究的机会，并提高STEM领域的少数族裔学生的保留率。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
