The increasing global consumption of plastic products has resulted in a growing accumulation of plastic waste,
posing severe environmental challenges. The study aims to explore methods for recycling plastic macaque waste
to produce carbon nanomaterials. Carbon nanomaterials were obtained via electric arc discharge from plastic
waste processed at 1173 K in a nitrogen and water vapor environment. Key properties such as moisture, ash, and
volatility were analyzed with a Thermoster Eltra analyzer. Pore volume, bulk density, pH, and adsorption activity
were also assessed. This study addresses plastic waste pollution by converting it into porous carbon nanomaterials
through pyrolysis at 900 °C. These materials, used as electrodes, produce graphene-forming nanomaterials via
electric arc discharge. Analysis confirmed the composition using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and gas
chromatography. The study reveals that the electrical conductivity of the synthesized carbon nanomaterials is close
to that of graphite, with a reduction in electrical resistance of up to 3.6 times compared to the initial carbonized
material. The process yields valuable products like nanomaterials, hydrogen, and flammable gases. This research
presents an innovative and sustainable approach for the recycling of plastic waste into graphene-forming carbon
nanomaterials using electric arc discharge.
