Abstract
The possibility of obtaining low pour point diesel fuel by dewaxing of feedstock containing hydrotreated thermolysis oil obtained from a mixture of plastic wastes is presented. It has been established that in the process of dewaxing the n-alkanes of the feedstock, regardless of the length of the carbon chain, undergo almost complete conversion, leading to the improved low-temperature and rheological properties of the hydrotreated product. It is concluded that the obtained petroleum products are characterized by a high degree of environmental purity, since they do not contain chlorine, and the concentration of sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds, as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is minimal.
