Abstract
MWCNTs were synthesized by spray pyrolysis method at 950 °C on quartz substrate from plastic pyrolysis oil derived from waste polystyrene plastic using Argon gas was used as a carrier gas. The chemical compound composition of the plastic pyrolysis oil has been determined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy. The GC-MS analysis was conducted on the polystyrene pyrolytic oil to confirm alkanes and alkenes compound. As-grown MWCNTs were characterized by SEM, HR-TEM and Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy reveals that as grown multiwall carbon nanotubes are well graphitized.
