AB  - AIMS: The study explains the production of useful liquid hydrocarbons by 
      thermo-acidic catalytic thermal degradation of waste high-density polyethylene. A 
      comparative study of the liquid samples with or without catalysts. BACKGROUND: 
      Energy demand is high in the world. Waste plastic conversion is nowadays a 
      concern of interest research for scientists. HDPE (High-density polyethylene) is 
      the most common plastic used in households. Different types of catalysts and 
      techniques have been used in the alteration process of waste HDPE. This paper 
      deals with the kandite group of catalyst kaolin and the montmorillonite group of 
      catalyst sodium bentonite in acid-activated mutated form. OBJECTIVE: This paper 
      aims to explore the prominent utilization of kaolin clay and sodium bentonite 
      clay minerals as a catalyst for the alteration of waste HDPE into fuel resources 
      and to develop a cost-effective recycling experimental set-up for plastic waste 
      conversion. METHOD: Thermo-catalytic acid activation has been done for clay 
      mutation. Hydrochloric acid-activated catalysts have been used in this study. 
      FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) and GC-MS (Gas Chromatography and 
      Mass Spectrometer) techniques have been used to explore the prominent compounds 
      in the product samples. RESULT: Maximum energy per photon for RO (Parent Oil/Raw 
      Oil) and AO(Acid treated thermo-catalytic oil) samples are respectively 
      58034.01x1024 Joules and 59271.40x1024 Joules concerning wave numbers 2921.42 and 
      2983.71 cm-1. Compounds of functional groups C-CH3, CH2, alkenes, and CH3 have 
      been identified for RO and AO samples. Less gaseous hydrocarbons 31.79% 
      (outcomes) or 29.66 % (production yield) and 150.06 % of increment in wax have 
      been calculated after using acid-treated catalysts. Aliphatic compounds like 
      alkanes and alkenes are present in the samples. CONCLUSION: A mixture of 
      acid-treated kaolin and acid-treated sodium bentonite as the catalysts for 
      degrading waste HDPE into liquid oil greatly reduces wax formation. Average 
      outcomes and production of liquid hydrocarbons are good results with the 
      acid-treated catalytic degradation of HDPE waste. One remarkable fact is that the 
      yield percentage of liquid products is higher in acid-activated catalytic thermal 
      degradation.
