Abstrakt: Plastic usage has increased nowadays. Instant noodle plastic package is one of the examples. The consumption of instant noodle is increases because it could be a choice for a convenient food. In this case instant noodle plastic package will be plastic waste. Instant noodle plastic package is made of polypropylene that has high heat va lue with 46,4 MJ/Kg. This research was conducted to convert instant noodle plastic package waste into fuel oil using pyrolysis process and mount Merapi ash as the catalyst. Mount Merapi ash is chosen to become an alternative catalyst because it contains with a lot of silica from volcanic ash when Mount Merapi erupts. The volcanic ash has no purification process. However, the volcanic ash has activation process with Ca(OH)2. The purpose of this research is to see the influence of alternative catalyst weight variation. A total of 100 grams of instant noodle plastic wrap waste were cut in a batch pyrolysis reactor at temperature of 500°C until the yield stopped with catalyst variation 10; 20; 30 (% weight). In general, the use of volcanic ash catalyst decreased the wrap value of density, viscosity, and flash point but it increased the value of caloric value. The best yield quality of calorific value and viscosity was obtained at 30% of catalyst. The product result of 30% catalyst obtained is calorific value 9307,2 cal/gram and absolute viscosity value 8,3. On the other hand, the best yield quality of density and flash point was obtained without catalyst. The product result without catalyst obtained is density 0,7454 gram/cm³ and flash point 121°C. The analysis result shows that the best yield of the product is close to biodiesel Indonesian national standard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
