Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste plastic recycling, and particularly relates to a method and a system for catalytic cracking of waste plastics. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing consumption of global fossil energy, the problem of carbon energy recycling has gradually attracted wide attention. In recent years, a large amount of plastic products are produced globally every year. The produced plastic products cause serious environmental pollution due to their short use cycle and long lifespan. In the past half century, the global plastic production has increased by 20 times, and it is expected that the growth trend will continue, and the annual plastic production will exceed 500 million tons by 2050. Currently, there are more than 30 primary plastics, which can form different varieties of plastic materials after being combined with different additives. The main plastic-producing country in the world is China, accounting for 27.8% of the global plastic production, followed by the European Union and North America, accounting for 18.5% of the global plastic production.

[0003] To solve the "white pollution" problem caused by plastic waste, the current main treatment methods are landfill and incineration. Since plastics are light in weight, large in volume and difficult to degrade, the landfill method will occupy a large amount of land resources and harm the ecological environment; while the incineration method will produce a large amount of toxic and harmful gases and there are serious carbon emission problems. Thus, it can be seen that the current main waste plastic treatment methods will all cause serious secondary pollution and result in the waste of waste plastic resources.

[0004] To achieve the high-value utilization of waste plastics, the use of catalytic cracking technology to convert waste plastics into fuel oil and high-value-added products has broad application prospects. The patent with the publication number CN113862018A discloses a method and a system for producing vehicle fuel oil from waste plastics. The waste plastics first enter a decontamination unit for decontamination treatment to obtain a solution with low chlorine content and low silicon content; the solution with low impurity content is sent to a catalytic cracking unit for catalytic cracking reaction to prepare vehicle fuel oil. The patent with the publication number CN114106864A discloses a method and a system for producing low-chlorine fuel oil from waste plastics. In this method, the waste plastics are first mixed and contacted with a deactivated catalyst at 150 - 300°C in a pipeline, and then further react in the upper and middle reaches of a fluidized reactor; the regenerated catalyst at 600 - 680°C and a dechlorinating agent enter the reactor from the middle and lower reaches of the reactor, contact and react with the existing logistics in the reactor; the reacted logistics finally enter a separation system. It can be seen that the above technical solutions need to adopt a decontamination unit, multiple catalyst coolers and a deactivated catalyst regenerator, and also need to add a dechlorinating agent. The reaction process is cumbersome and the investment cost is relatively high, which is not conducive to improving economic benefits.

[0005] Due to the high viscosity of waste plastics, when waste plastics come into contact with the catalyst, they are likely to cover the surface of the catalyst to form carbon deposits, making it difficult for reaction intermediates to diffuse into the active sites inside the catalyst for reaction. In addition, the poor thermal conductivity of waste plastics causes uneven heating of waste plastics during the reaction, resulting in deteriorated properties of the cracking products. The high chlorine content in waste plastics leads to a high content of organic chlorides in the cracked product fuel oil. These characteristics of waste plastics all have a serious negative impact on the cracking conversion of waste plastics and the quality of the cracking products. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an economical and efficient catalytic cracking method for waste plastics to improve the cracking conversion rate of waste plastics and the quality of the cracking products, so as to realize the high-value utilization of waste plastics.
