Abstract :
Due to the decreasing reserves of fossil fuels,
efforts to produce fuels using various methods have been
developed continuously. In this study, kerosene was
produced through a microwave-assisted pyrolysis
process from used lubricating oil. The compounds and
compositions contained in kerosene were analyzed by
GC-MS to ensure the presence of compounds with
carbon chain lengths in the range of C10-C16 as the main
fraction that must be contained in kerosene. The
identification results showed that the kerosene produced
contained 89.98% C10-C16, while the fraction with the
carbon chain length of less than C10 reached 10.05%.
The types of compounds were dominated by 32.47%
isoparaffin, 31.48% paraffin, 23.78% olefin, 10.03%
cyclo-paraffin, and 2.18% aromatic.
