Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of waste plastic pyrolysis products, and specifically relates to a system and method for fully utilizing waste plastic pyrolysis products. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and industrial development, plastics are widely used as packaging materials in people's daily lives. Used waste plastics cannot be decomposed by themselves in nature. Only a few types of waste plastics can be reprocessed and reused through specific recycling channels. A large amount of waste plastics enters landfills in the form of domestic garbage. Since waste plastics are not easy to decompose, they occupy a lot of space. Recycling waste plastics quickly and greenly has become an urgent task.

[0003] The green resource treatment of waste plastics is the main research direction at home and abroad. The pyrolysis oil technology of waste plastics can convert waste plastics that cannot be recycled into pyrolysis gas, pyrolysis carbon and petroleum products. There is no secondary pollution in the treatment process. It can not only effectively reduce environmental pollution, but also realize the resource utilization of waste plastics and create considerable benefits. It can provide the final solution for the harmless treatment and resource utilization of waste plastics. It is the main technology for chemical recycling of waste plastics. The pyrolysis oil technology of waste plastics includes thermal cracking, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking-catalytic modification and catalytic cracking-catalytic modification.

[0004] The pyrolysis oil products of waste plastics are divided into pyrolysis gas, pyrolysis carbon and pyrolysis oil. The pyrolysis gas and pyrolysis carbon produced by different plastics have basically the same composition. At present, they are generally burned as pyrolysis fuels. It is worth noting that due to the wide variety of waste plastics, the properties of pyrolysis oils produced by different types of plastics are different. In general, pyrolysis oil is a mixture of alkanes, olefins, and aromatics with a wide distillation range. The presence of olefins causes the instability of pyrolysis oil. Olefins easily react with oxygen and other components in the air, resulting in polymerization reactions to generate colloidal substances. When pyrolysis oil is used as fuel oil, these colloidal substances are easily deposited in filters and distribution lines of engines. Therefore, plastic pyrolysis oil must undergo quality improvement treatments, such as hydrogenation, to reduce the level of olefins. At the same time, pyrolysis oil contains solid impurities, Cl, Si and other polluting elements, which are also undesirable for pyrolysis oil.

[0005] The use of product pyrolysis oil as fuel oil is the main business model for the current chemical recycling of waste plastics. From a higher goal perspective, achieving the recycling of waste plastics into new plastics and reducing the consumption of fossil energy is a more valuable way to recycle waste plastics. To achieve this goal, the pioneering and innovation of plastic pyrolysis oil quality improvement technology is an inevitable requirement. With the development of the waste plastic chemical recycling industry, different routes have been developed and cultivated for the quality improvement of waste plastic pyrolysis oil, and domestic and foreign companies have gradually begun to try to lay out. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem solved by the present application is: to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, to provide a system and method for comprehensive utilization of waste plastic pyrolysis products, to solve the problem of pyrolysis oil as a product circulation, to achieve economic maximization of pyrolysis products, and to be an important part of the chemical cycle of waste plastics.

Second, the high-temperature pyrolysis carbon is used as the raw material of synthesis gas, and then the synthesized methanol is used as a viscosity reducer, hydrogen donor, etc. in the process of pyrolysis oil upgrading.
