Plastic to Oil – Produces 80% Oil
Why do people keep falling for this?  This same fraud used to pop up only every 10 years.  Now it's 5 or less.<p>I'm a PhD chemist.  Please consider this: While plastics and oil are both hydrocarbons they have this important difference.  Liquid hydrocarbons have short carbon chains and lots of hydrogen.  Plastics have very LONG carbon chains, usually with many double bonds, and very little hydrogen.<p>That is why, when you heat plastic it decomposes into char -- as in charcoal.  It is IMPOSSIBLE to produce oil, even theoretically, without adding a source of hydrogen.<p>A few centuries ago these same fraudsters would be selling you a way to change Iron into Gold.
