The fact that increasing plastic production and the mismanaged waste released to the environment put the ecosystem at risk. One of the most promising recycling methods developed within this framework has been pyrolysis. In this thesis, a model feedstock mi (No: 119N302). Thermal (batch and continuous) and catalytic pyrolysis (in-situ and ex-situ) techniques were applied to the polyolefins. Silica-alumina-based solid acid catalysts were produced with the simple sol-gel method to compete with commercial ZSM-5 (30) and ZSM-5 (50). Catalyst-to-plastic ratios between 1/100 and 1/1000 were used for in-situ, and 200 h-1 and 500 h-1 WHSVs were used for ex-situ mode. 57 wt.% pyrolysis oil was produced from the thermal pyrolysis of the virgin PO mixture in the batch system. In the ex-situ catalytic pyrolysis experiments by 500 h-1 WHSV and by ZSM-5, silica-alumina, and ZSM-5 supported silica-alumina, 36 wt.%, 56.6% wt.% and 45.2 wt.% liquid, and by 200 h-1 WHSV, 29.9 wt.%, 54.1 wt.%, and 57.9 wt.% pyrolysis oils were collected, respectively. The most successful test in terms of product composition was ES2 with 82.9% gasoline (8.8% BTEX), and 16.7% diesel-range hydrocarbons. The motivation was investigating whether it was suitable to produce liquid hydrocarbons, in the range of C5-C20, as a feedstock in the petrochemical industry. As a result, it has been proven that energy recovery was possible and sustainable by plastics recycling instead of using fossil fuels.
