Abstract:

 According to the GC/MS analysis of the oil samples, recovered by the oxidative thermal degradation of the mixture of HDPE, LDPE and natural fibers of Indian origin, it was reported that on varying the natural fibers into the reaction mixture the resultant oxidative products were also varies. It was found that when the mixture of HDPE and LDPE degraded in the oxidative environment the recovered oxidative products were 1 ring chain saturated hydrocarbons, 1 saturated long chain hydrocarbon, 5 unsaturated long chain hydrocarbons and 1 methyl ester. Whenthe mixture of Jute, HDPE and LDPE thermally degraded the recovered oxidative products were 1 phytol, 2 saturated fatty acids, 2 unsaturated fatty acids and 2 silica containing derivatives, similarly when Flax fiber was used instead of Jute fiber the recovered oxidative products were 8 unsaturated long chain hydrocarbons and 3 methyl esters.
