Abstract

This disclosure relates to a method and system for preparing low-chlorine pyrolysis oil from plastic mixtures. Chlorine-containing plastics and additive-containing plastics are fed into a first screw-type heating and conveying device for dehydration, degassing, and volume reduction treatment. The resulting dehydrated, degassed, and volume-reduced plastics are then fed into a second screw-type heating and conveying device for liquefaction and dechlorination treatment. The resulting liquefied and dechlorinated plastics undergo viscosity-reducing cracking treatment to obtain viscosity-reduced cracked plastic oil and a first dry gas. The viscosity-reduced cracked plastic oil is then heated and subjected to a pyrolysis reaction to obtain pyrolysis products and coke. The pyrolysis products are separated to obtain a second dry gas, liquefied gas, and pyrolysis oil. The additives are oxides, hydroxides, and salts of alkali metals / alkaline earth metals. In this invention, the alkali metal / alkaline earth metal compounds added to the additive-containing plastics during the pyrolysis and dechlorination process can adsorb HCl released from the high-temperature decomposition of chlorine-containing compounds in situ, reducing the generation of organochlorides and effectively realizing the large-scale, continuous production of low-chlorine pyrolysis oil from chlorine-containing waste plastics.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of waste plastic resource utilization and green environmental protection, specifically relating to a method and system for preparing low-chlorine pyrolysis oil by co-pyrolysis of waste plastics containing alkaline additives and chlorine-containing waste plastics. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, nearly 1 billion tons of waste plastics urgently need to be disposed of in China, while the global cumulative amount is approximately 9 billion tons. "White pollution," caused by waste plastics, including marine pollution, water and soil pollution, and ecological damage, is a serious problem. Traditional methods of waste plastic disposal include landfill and incineration, which pollute the environment and cause significant economic losses. Chemical recycling can transform waste plastics into chemical products by applying various technologies such as pyrolysis, catalytic decomposition, solvent decomposition, and gasification. Nevertheless, developing cost-effective and environmentally friendly chemical recycling methods to transform plastic waste into valuable products remains highly desirable.

[0003] 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 over 4000 mg / kg, with the majority being organochlorides, significantly impacting oil quality. Meanwhile, some plastics containing alkaline substances such as calcium carbonate, like calcium-plastic boards, are difficult to chemically recycle due to their low plastic content and high content of organic impurities such as calcium carbonate. However, utilizing the alkaline substances in waste plastics can adsorb the HCl released during the pyrolysis of chlorine-containing compounds such as PVC, thus reducing the formation of organochlorine compounds. Therefore, developing a technology for co-pyrolyzing alkaline and chlorine-containing waste plastics to prepare low-chlorine pyrolysis oil is urgently needed, as this technology is of great significance for achieving closed-loop recycling of waste plastics.

[0004] CN202010457518.3 discloses a method and system for treating chlorine-containing waste plastics. The method involves dechlorinating the chlorine-containing waste plastics in a dechlorination device using a shaftless stirring screw, isolating it from air, and at a temperature of 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 plastic is low, only 70%.

[0005] CN201610606090.8 discloses a device and method for harmless treatment of waste plastics. In this method, a large screw feeder heats the waste plastics to 100℃~250℃ 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℃, the waste plastics only soften into a plastic high-molecular-weight material, and its phase is a non-flowing, non-liquid plastic solid, which is difficult to output from the dechlorination separator.

[0006] CN201810272820.4 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 using nitrogen purging or vacuum extraction. A composite catalyst is then added to perform deep dechlorination and catalytic pyrolysis on the remaining material to obtain low-chlorinated plastic pyrolysis oil. However, this method is an intermittent reaction and cannot achieve large-scale, continuous production of low-chlorinated pyrolysis oil from chlorinated waste plastics. Furthermore, the dechlorination equipment suffers from low heat transfer efficiency, uneven heating, and localized overheating, resulting in incomplete dechlorination and the unavoidable production of a significant amount of organochlorides, leading to a still relatively high chlorine content in the pyrolysis light oil.
