The invention relates to the field of garage treatment and 
chemical engineering, and to a method for pretreating plastic sorted from living garbage with hot air. The method comprises the following steps: 
drying moisture of waste plastic through blowing, performing primary decontamination, feeding into a liquidation kettle by using special 
continuous feeding equipment, performing liquidation in the liquidation kettle, feeding into a splitting kettle, condensing gases of the splitting kettle through a 
heat exchanger, wherein oil separated from the gases, together with heavy oil in the splitting kettle, are used as raw materials of 
petrochemical plants, and uncondensed gases separated from the gases are used as 
heat energy for heating the splitting kettle. The liquidation kettle consists of a heat preservation part and a heating part; heat conduction oil is fed into an interlayer in the heat-preservation kettle; constant temperature is kept through 
electric heating; the heating part is achieved through returned high-temperature oil after splitting in the splitting kettle. The method is 
fully automatic, sealing is achieved in the whole process, no 
pollution is caused, the 
energy consumption is low, operation is easy to carry out, plastic is rapidly liquidized according to characteristics of plastic in 
waste treatment plants and is liquidized through high-temperature oil, the problems that waste plastic is easy to 
coke when being heated, is low in heat conduction rate and the like are solved, and industrial treatment on waste plastic in sorted garbage is achieved.
