Waste shipping oil, a mixture of used lubricating oil and seawater derived from ship engine operation, was tested for its potential to be converted into a fuel product via an innovative microwave-assisted pyrolysis approach using a reaction bed of activated carbon. Higher carbon to waste ratio was f...
