Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of waste plastic resource recycling, and specifically to a method and system for pyrolysis of waste plastics. Background Technology
[0002] Chemical recycling is widely considered a sustainable technology capable of high-value utilization of waste plastics. However, globally, its development is still in its early stages, accounting for only 1% of waste plastic processing. With changes in global environmental policies, particularly the commitments to carbon reduction, carbon peaking, and carbon neutrality, refining companies worldwide are increasingly focusing on chemical recycling of waste plastics, especially in EU countries. Companies like BUSF, BP, and Shell have developed chemical recycling technologies for waste plastics, and it is projected that by 2030, chemical recycling technology will account for 13% of waste plastic recycling. Currently, pyrolysis remains the mainstream processing technology. Its simplicity, low cost, and wide adaptability to raw materials give it economic advantages and technical feasibility. Waste plastics that can be processed by pyrolysis mainly include aged plastics excavated from landfills and waste plastics from dynamic household waste. However, the presence of mixed plastics like PVC and chlorine-containing additives results in high chlorine content in the pyrolysis oil, reaching up to 4000 mg / kg, with the majority being organochlorides, significantly impacting oil quality. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a technology for deep dechlorination of chlorine-containing waste plastics to prepare low-chlorine pyrolysis oil. This technology is of great significance for realizing the closed-loop recycling of waste plastics.
[0003] 202010457518.3 discloses a method and system for treating chlorinated waste plastics. The method involves dechlorinating the chlorinated waste plastics in a dechlorination device using a shaftless stirring screw, isolating air and at 180-320℃, to obtain molten material and chlorine-containing gas. The molten material is then pyrolyzed in a pyrolysis device under vacuum conditions at 500-700℃ to produce pyrolytic carbon and pyrolysis steam. However, due to problems such as low heat transfer efficiency, uneven heating, and low dechlorination temperature in the dechlorination device, the chlorine removal rate of the dechlorinated molten plastics is low, only 70%.
[0004] ZL201610606090.8 discloses a device and method for the harmless treatment of waste plastics. In this method, a large screw feeder heats the waste plastics to 100-250°C and feeds them into a dechlorination separator for dechlorination reaction. Since the dechlorination reaction of PVC and the addition reaction of olefins occur simultaneously, the dechlorination rate is not high under the condition of separating HCl without external force. Moreover, at 250°C, the waste plastics only soften into plastic polymer materials, and their phase is a non-flowing, non-liquid, plastic solid, which is difficult to output from the dechlorination separator.
[0005] Patent No. 201810272820.4 discloses a method for preparing low-chlorinated plastic pyrolysis oil. This method involves staged, stepwise heating of a mixed plastic containing PVC. Within the temperature range where PVC decomposes and releases hydrogen chloride, the released hydrogen chloride is completely removed by nitrogen purging or vacuum extraction. A composite catalyst is then added to deeply dechlorinate and catalytically pyrolyze the remaining material, yielding low-chlorinated plastic pyrolysis oil. However, this method is a batch reaction and cannot achieve large-scale, continuous production of low-chlorinated pyrolysis oil from chlorinated waste plastics. Furthermore, its dechlorination unit suffers from low heat transfer efficiency, uneven heating, and localized overheating, resulting in incomplete dechlorination and the unavoidable production of significant amounts of organochlorides. Consequently, the chlorine content in the pyrolysis light oil remains high (>1900 mg / kg). Summary of the Invention

[0090] The chlorine-containing waste plastic is fed from the waste plastic silo 1 into the first screw-type heated conveyor 2, where it undergoes dehydration, degassing, and volume reduction treatment to obtain dehydrated, degassed, and volume-reduced plastic. This dehydrated, degassed, and volume-reduced plastic then enters the second screw-type heated conveyor 3 and comes into contact with the dechlorination adsorbent in the dechlorination adsorbent silo. In the second screw-type heated conveyor 3, it undergoes liquefaction and dechlorination treatment. During the dechlorination process, under the action of a vacuum system, the remaining chlorine-containing gas phase in the second screw-type heated conveyor 3 that has not been adsorbed by the dechlorination adsorbent is drawn into a hydrogen chloride absorption chamber. Unit 7 contacts the hydrogen chloride absorbent for hydrogen chloride absorption treatment, resulting in a dechlorinated gas phase. The dechlorinated plastic obtained from the output of the second screw-type heating and conveying device 3 enters the viscosity-reducing cracking unit 8 for viscosity-reducing cracking treatment, resulting in viscosity-reduced cracked plastic oil and first dry gas. The viscosity-reduced cracked plastic oil is first heated by the heating unit 9 to obtain heated plastic oil, and then sent to the pyrolysis reaction unit 10 for pyrolysis reaction treatment, resulting in pyrolysis products and coke.

The feed rate of the chlorine-containing plastic is 50 g / s, the inlet temperature of the first screw-type heated conveyor is 150℃, the outlet temperature is 200℃, the internal pressure of the screw is 0.5 MPa, the conveying line speed is 0.005 m / s, and the residence time of the material from the inlet to the outlet in the first screw-type heated conveyor is 8 min.
[0153] Then, the dehydrated, degassed, and volume-reduced waste plastic is directly liquefied and dechlorinated in the second screw-type heating and conveying device 3 without adding a dechlorination adsorbent. The feed rate of the dehydrated, degassed, and volume-reduced waste plastic is 40 g / s, the inlet temperature of the second screw-type heating and conveying device 3 is 200℃, the outlet temperature is 400℃, the screw internal pressure is 0.3 MPa, the conveying linear speed is 0.004 m / s, and the residence time is 10 min, resulting in liquefied and dechlorinated waste plastic. The vacuum degree of the screw-type heating and conveying equipment is 150 mmHg.
[0154] During the dechlorination process, a vacuum system is used to extract the gaseous material containing hydrogen chloride and send it into the hydrogen chloride absorption unit. The gaseous material is then contacted with the hydrogen chloride absorbent (NaOH solution, concentration 30% by weight) to absorb the hydrogen chloride, resulting in a dechlorinated gas phase that exits the hydrogen chloride absorption unit.
[0155] The liquefied dechlorinated waste plastic is fed into the viscosity reduction cracking unit 8 (viscosity reduction tank) for viscosity reduction cracking treatment to obtain viscosity-reduced liquefied waste plastic oil and first dry gas. The viscosity reduction cracking treatment temperature is 390℃, residence time is 60min, and pressure is 0.1MPa to obtain liquefied dechlorinated waste plastic oil.
[0156] The liquefied dechlorinated waste plastic oil is first heated in heating unit 9 (heating furnace) to obtain high-temperature liquefied waste plastic. The outlet temperature of the heating furnace is 500℃ and the steam injection rate is 1% by weight. Then, the obtained high-temperature liquefied waste plastic is sent to the pyrolysis reactor and pyrolyzed for 2 hours at 480℃ and a tower top pressure of 0.2MPa. The obtained pyrolysis products are separated by the separation unit to obtain pyrolysis oil DDT-8, coke and pyrolysis gas, etc. The chlorine content analysis results of pyrolysis oil DDT-13 are listed in Table 1.
[0157] Comparative Example 2
[0158] according to Figure 1 The process flow shown involves crushing and removing impurities from a mixed plastic containing LDPE, HDPE, PP, PS, and PVC (PVC mass fraction of 5 wt%) to obtain chlorine-containing waste plastic granules. These granules are then dehydrated, degassed, and reduced in volume using a first screw-type heating and conveying device 2 to obtain dehydrated, degassed, and reduced-volume waste plastic. The feed rate of the chlorine-containing plastic is 50 g / s, the inlet temperature of the first screw-type heating and conveying device is 150°C, the outlet temperature is 200°C, the internal pressure of the screw is 0.4 MPa, the conveying line speed is 0.004 m / s, and the residence time of the material from the inlet to the outlet in the first screw-type heating and conveying device is 8 min.
[0159] Then, the dehydrated, degassed, and volume-reduced waste plastic is directly liquefied and dechlorinated in the second screw-type heating and conveying device 3 without adding dechlorination adsorbent. The feeding rate of the dehydrated, degassed, and volume-reduced waste plastic is 40 g / s, the inlet temperature of the second screw-type heating and conveying device 3 is 200℃, the outlet temperature is 390℃, and the residence time is 10 min, resulting in liquefied and dechlorinated waste plastic. The screw-type heating and conveying equipment is not vacuumed.
[0160] The liquefied dechlorinated waste plastic is fed into the viscosity reduction cracking unit 8 (viscosity reduction tank) for viscosity reduction cracking treatment to obtain viscosity-reduced liquefied waste plastic oil and first dry gas. The viscosity reduction cracking treatment temperature is 380℃, residence time is 60min, and pressure is 0.1MPa to obtain liquefied dechlorinated waste plastic oil.
[0161] The liquefied dechlorinated waste plastic oil is first heated in heating unit 9 (heating furnace) to obtain high-temperature liquefied waste plastic. The outlet temperature of the heating furnace is 500℃ and the steam injection rate is 1% by weight. Then, the obtained high-temperature liquefied waste plastic is sent to the pyrolysis reactor and pyrolyzed for 2 hours at 480℃ and a tower top pressure of 0.2MPa. The obtained pyrolysis products are separated by the separation unit to obtain pyrolysis oil, coke and pyrolysis gas, etc. The chlorine content analysis results of the pyrolysis oil DDT-14 are listed in Table 1.
[0162] Comparative Example 3
[0163] This comparative example refers to the process flow and treatment method in Example 1, but differs from Example 1 in that:
[0164] Instead of setting up the first screw-type heating and conveying device 2 and performing dehydration, degassing and volume reduction treatment on the chlorine-containing waste plastic, the chlorine-containing waste plastic is directly introduced into the second screw-type heating and conveying device 3. The rest of the process is the same as in Example 1, and finally pyrolysis oil DDT-15 is obtained.
[0165] Comparative Example 4
[0166] This comparative example refers to the process flow and treatment method in Example 1, but differs from Example 1 in that:
[0167] Without setting up the viscosity reduction cracking unit 8, without performing viscosity reduction cracking treatment, the rest of the process is the same as in Example 1, and finally pyrolysis oil DDT-16 is obtained.
[0168] Comparative Example 5
[0169] This comparative example refers to the process flow and treatment method in Example 1, but differs from Example 1 in that:
[0170] Without setting up heating unit 9, the viscosity-reducing cracked plastic oil from the viscosity-reducing cracking unit is directly introduced into the pyrolysis reaction unit 10 without heating treatment. The rest of the process is the same as in Example 1, and finally the pyrolysis oil DDT-17 is obtained.
[0171] The viscosities of the liquefied dechlorinated waste plastic oils obtained after treatment in the viscosity-reducing cracking unit of the above examples and comparative examples are listed in Table 1 below; the chlorine content analysis results of the pyrolysis oil obtained from the pyrolysis reactor are listed in Table 1 below.
[0172] Table 1
[0173]
[0174] Note: "—" in the table refers to measurements exceeding the instrument's upper limit.
[0175] The dechlorination rate (%) is calculated as follows: (mass fraction of chlorine in the original plastic - mass fraction of chlorine in the intermediate product after dechlorination and viscosity reduction) / mass fraction of chlorine in the original plastic × 100%.
[0176] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 above:
[0177] Compared with Comparative Example 1 (no dechlorination adsorbent was added to the second screw conveyor) and Comparative Example 2 (no dechlorination adsorbent was added to the second screw conveyor and no vacuum was applied), the dechlorination rate of waste plastics treated by the method and system provided in this disclosure in Examples 1 to 12 is higher.
[0178] Compared with Comparative Example 3 (without the first screw-type heating conveying device 2), Example 1, which processes waste plastics according to the process provided in this application, achieves a higher dechlorination rate and a lower viscosity of the liquefied dechlorinated waste plastic oil obtained during the process at 200°C.
[0179] Comparing Example 1 with Examples 8-9, it can be seen that the process conditions for dehydration, degassing, and volume reduction treatment in the first screw-type heating and conveying device 2 and liquefaction treatment in the second screw-type heating and conveying device 3 in Example 1 are within the optimized range provided in this disclosure. Therefore, compared with Examples 8-9, the viscosity of the viscosity-reducing cracked plastic oil obtained in Example 1 is lower, and the final dechlorination rate is higher.
[0180] Comparing Example 12 with Examples 1-11, it can be seen that Example 1-11, which treats waste plastics according to the conditions provided in this disclosure, has a lower viscosity at 200°C and a higher dechlorination rate than Example 12.
