The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of light gases produced from polypropylene, specifically hydrogen. In particular, we examined the effect of operating conditions on gaseous product and compositions in the catalytic cracking of polypropylene. We also characterized the gaseous product generated from polypropylene cracking. The feedstock (2.0 g) mixed with NiO/SiO2-Al2O3 (Si-Al) was used, under non-isothermal conditions at low temperature range between 380 and 500 A degrees C. Argon gas was used to carry the pyrolyzed gas, and the gas collected in a tedlar bag was analyzed for its behavior. We observed the behavior of major gases (H-2, CH4, C2H4 and C3H6, etc.) according to reaction time and temperature. Finally, the effect of reaction conditions on evolved gases from catalytic cracking of polypropylene was analyzed.
