Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of waste plastic resource recycling, and in particular, to a processing method and system for pyrolysis and cracking of waste plastic. 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. In recent years, the amount of waste plastics has increased, and it has become an urgent task to recycle waste plastics quickly and greenly.
[0003] The simplest chemical method to deal with waste plastics is direct incineration, but direct incineration will produce toxic gases that are harmful to the human body and cause secondary environmental pollution. Waste plastic oil technology is to crack waste plastics under anaerobic or anoxic conditions by heating or catalyst conditions to crack polymers into low molecular weight substances to obtain gasoline, kerosene, diesel fractions and some pyrolysis gases. On the one hand, waste plastic oil technology alleviates the pollution problem caused by waste plastics, and on the other hand, it realizes the recycling of waste plastics, which is an important direction for the resource treatment of waste plastics.
[0004] At present, waste plastic oil recovery technology mainly includes waste plastic thermal cracking, catalytic thermal cracking and thermal cracking catalytic modification technology. Thermal cracking has the advantages of simple process, relatively less equipment investment, no catalyst required, and short reaction process, making thermal cracking the lowest unit oil cost compared to the other two technologies. General waste plastics in domestic garbage undergo high-temperature thermal cracking reaction between 380~500℃, with a fast cracking speed and a relatively simple product composition, which can be used as oil products or chemical raw materials.
[0005] CN109401774A discloses a waste plastic continuous pyrolysis system and a pyrolysis method thereof, the system comprises a loading device, a feeding device, a pyrolysis reactor and a slag discharge device connected in sequence, and since the plastic is a macromolecular polymer, a non-Newtonian fluid is formed during the heating process, and a screw propeller is used. The plastic liquefaction process in this process is unevenly heated, and coking and fouling are easily generated. CN112608761A discloses a solid heat carrier internal heating type waste plastic treatment process, which solves the problem that the existing waste plastic treatment process is difficult to scale up and has low thermal efficiency by using iron ore pellets as a heat carrier to heat the waste plastic. However, there is no dechlorination means in this process, which makes the impurity content in the pyrolysis oil too high. CN10461030A discloses a coking method for producing fuel oil from waste plastics. The method is to preheat high aromatic components and waste plastics or plastic oil in a raw material buffer tank, enter a tubular heating furnace for heating, and then spray into a delayed coking tower for coking reaction. The waste plastics mentioned in the method are one or more of polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene, and do not contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC), so it is impossible to process waste plastic raw materials mixed with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). CN112538363A discloses a method for co-converting waste plastics in a delayed coker unit. The method converts waste plastics together with petroleum residue raw materials. The waste plastics are selected from polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, PET and multi-layer plastics with added metals, and also do not include waste plastics of polyvinyl chloride. Waste plastics are high-viscosity polymer melts formed during the melting process, which have a density difference problem with hydrocarbon raw materials. Therefore, the mixed fluid of hydrocarbons and polymer melts can cause problems such as blockage and coking of delayed coking heating furnace tubes. Summary of the invention

[0056] The gas composition of the pyrolysis reaction product was determined by the RIPP 78-90 method; the hydrocarbon composition in the pyrolysis reaction product was determined by chromatography analysis.
[0057] In the following examples, the particle size of the particles obtained by the pulverization process ranges from 100 to 2000 μm.
[0058] Example 1 The process system of this embodiment includes: a waste plastic storage tank 1, a waste plastic melting, dehydration and dechlorination unit 2, a waste plastic heating and conveying device 3, a waste plastic liquefaction, plastic reduction and viscosity reduction tank 4, a material heating unit 5, a pyrolysis reaction unit 6, a separation unit 7, a hydrogen chloride absorption unit 8 and a delayed coking wax oil fraction inlet 17.
[0059] The waste agricultural film is sent to the waste plastic melting dehydration and dechlorination unit for melting dehydration and dechlorination treatment. During the dechlorination process, the gas phase material containing hydrogen chloride is extracted by a vacuum system and sent to the hydrogen chloride absorption unit to contact with the hydrogen chloride absorbent (NaOH solution) for hydrogen chloride absorption treatment. The waste plastic melting dehydration and dechlorination unit uses a twin-screw pump and a vacuum device connected to a twin-screw heating and conveying device. The feed rate is about 100kg / h, the outlet temperature is 220℃, the reaction time is 12min, the vacuum degree of the twin-screw pump is 70mmHg, the screw diameter of the twin-screw pump is 50mm, and the outlet pressure of the twin-screw pump is 0.2MPa. The waste plastic material is cooled and crushed to obtain dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-1. The properties of the obtained dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-1 are shown in Table 1.
[0060] The dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-1 was sent into a screw pump and further heated to 400°C. The samples were kept at 400°C for 20 min, 40 min and 60 min, and were recorded as WP-1-20, WP-1-40, WP-1-60 respectively. The rotational viscosity of the samples was measured. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0062] The pyrolysis products were separated by a separation unit to obtain dry gas, liquefied gas, gasoline fraction, diesel fraction and wax oil fraction. Product distribution test was carried out, and the distribution of pyrolysis reaction products is shown in Table 3 and Table 4, and the hydrocarbon composition of the liquid phase product in the pyrolysis reaction product is shown in Table 5.
[0063] Comparative Example 1 The process system and process flow of Example 1 were used, and the same waste plastic raw material WP-1 was used. The only difference was that the WP-1-60 sample was not mixed with the wax oil sample from the delayed coking unit, and the WP-1-60 sample was directly sent to the pyrolysis unit and pyrolyzed at 480°C for 2 hours to obtain pyrolysis products. The distribution of pyrolysis reaction products is shown in Tables 3 and 4, and the hydrocarbon composition of the liquid phase product in the pyrolysis reaction product is shown in Table 5.
[0064] Example 2 The process system of Example 1 was adopted. Plastic packaging materials containing LDPE, HDPE, PS, PP and PVC (mass percentage of 4:4:8:3:1) were crushed and dried as waste plastic raw materials (chlorine content of 2.9%), and the waste plastic raw materials were sent to the waste plastic melting dehydration and dechlorination unit for melting dehydration and dechlorination treatment. The waste plastic melting dehydration and dechlorination unit was the same as that in Example 1, with a feed rate of about 100 kg / h, a vacuum degree of the twin-screw pump of 100 mmHg, an outlet temperature of 320°C, and a reaction time of 12 min to obtain dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-2. The properties of the obtained dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-2 are shown in Table 1. The outlet temperature was changed during the test process, and the morphology and chlorine content of the waste plastic after transportation under different outlet temperature conditions were tested to obtain a series of liquefied dechlorinated waste plastics WP-2-1 to WP-2-5. The properties of the obtained liquefied dechlorinated waste plastics WP-2-1 to WP-2-5 are shown in Table 7. The absorption process of the hydrogen chloride-containing gas obtained by dechlorination treatment is the same as that in Example 1.
[0065] Then the dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-2-3 was sent into a screw pump and further heated to 390°C for 0.2h (liquefaction process). After being kept at 390°C for 30min, 50min and 70min, the rotational viscosity was measured (using an adiabatic upflow visbreaking reactor) to obtain visbroken liquefied waste plastic oil (respectively recorded as WP-2-3-30, WP-2-3-50, and WP-2-3-70). The properties of the visbroken liquefied waste plastic oil are shown in Table 2.

[0069] Example 5 The process system and process flow of Example 1 are used, the only difference being the operating conditions of the melt dehydration and dechlorination treatment, specifically including: the reaction time is 2 minutes, the vacuum degree of the twin-screw heating and conveying equipment is 150 mmHg, and the screw diameter of the twin-screw heating and conveying equipment is 30 mm.
[0070] The dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-5 was sent into a screw pump and further heated to 390°C. The residence time was 2 minutes. It was kept at 390°C for 50 minutes. The rotational viscosity was measured by sampling (denoted as WP-5-50) to obtain the visbreaking liquefied waste plastic oil. The viscosity results of the visbreaking liquefied waste plastic oil are shown in Table 2.
[0071] The cracking reaction conditions were the same as those in Example 1. The product distribution of the cracking reaction products is shown in Table 8.
[0072] Comparative Example 2 The process system and process flow of Example 2 were used, and the same waste plastic raw materials were used. The only difference was that the WP-2-3-70 sample was not mixed with the wax oil sample from the delayed coking unit, and the WP-2-3-70 sample was directly sent to the pyrolysis unit and pyrolyzed at 480°C for 10 hours to obtain pyrolysis products. The distribution of pyrolysis reaction products is shown in Tables 3 and 4, and the hydrocarbon composition of the liquid phase product in the pyrolysis reaction product is shown in Table 5.
[0073] Comparative Example 3 The real waste plastic (chlorine content is about 2.5 weight %) is fed into the waste plastic melting dehydration and dechlorination unit for melting dehydration and dechlorination treatment. The waste plastic melting dehydration and dechlorination unit is the same as that in Example 1, with a feed rate of about 100 kg / h, an outlet temperature of 300°C, and a reaction time of 12 min to obtain dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-3. The properties of the obtained dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-3 are shown in Table 1.
[0074] WP-3 was sent into a screw pump and further heated to 420°C. After being kept at 420°C for 30 minutes, a sample was taken and recorded as WP-3-30. The rotational viscosity of the sample was measured. The test results are shown in Table 2.

The heating temperature was 480°C, the residence time was 50s, and the steam injection amount in the heating furnace was 1% by weight; then the obtained heated liquefied waste plastics were sent to the pyrolysis reaction unit (pyrolysis tower) for pyrolysis reaction.

[0085] As can be seen from Example 1, waste agricultural film is sent to the waste plastic melting dehydration and dechlorination unit for melting dehydration and dechlorination treatment to obtain dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-1, and WP-1 is sent to a screw pump. After plastic reduction and viscosity reduction at 400°C for 20min, 40min and 60min respectively, the viscosities at 200°C are 11760.0cp, 1400.0cp and 351.6cp respectively. The sample with a viscosity of 351.6cp obtained by plastic reduction and viscosity reduction for 60min is selected, and is sent to a pyrolysis tower for pyrolysis reaction after being heated to 500°C. The dry gas, liquefied gas, gasoline, diesel, wax oil and coke are obtained by fractionation in a fractionating tower with yields of 2.50%, 2.12%, 34.71%, 37.18%, 10.05% and 13.36% respectively.
[0086] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that when wax oil is added to the raw material mainly composed of PE, the liquid phase product obtained in Example 1 undergoes a significant change compared with Comparative Example 1, and the aromatic content increases significantly. In the 180-350°C fraction, saturated hydrocarbons account for 65.3% by weight and aromatic hydrocarbons account for 17.3% by weight in Example 1. In the fraction above 350°C, saturated hydrocarbons + olefins account for 69.2% by weight and aromatic hydrocarbons account for 30.8% by weight in Example 1. Since an appropriate amount of coking wax oil is added in Example 1, the proportion of coking precursors in the raw material increases, and more heat is carried into the reactor, so that the coke yield in Example 1 is increased by 8.96 percentage points compared with Comparative Example 1.
[0087] As can be seen from Example 2, the waste plastic raw material with high chlorine content is sent to the waste plastic melting dehydration dechlorination unit for melting dehydration dechlorination treatment. When the dechlorination outlet temperature meets 300-330°C, most of the chlorine in the waste plastic is removed; when the dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-2 is plasticized and viscosity-reduced for 30min, 50min and 70min at 390°C, the viscosity at 200°C is 543cp, 330.8cp and 268.5cp respectively. The sample with a viscosity of 268.5cp obtained by plasticizing and viscosity-reducing for 70min is selected, and after being heated to 480°C, it is sent to the pyrolysis tower for pyrolysis reaction, and the dry gas, liquefied gas, gasoline, diesel, wax oil and coke yields are 1.48%, 2.86%, 32.13%, 30.79%, 30.91% and 1.75% respectively obtained by fractionation in the fractionation tower. Compared with Comparative Example 2, the coke yield of Example 2 is increased.
[0088] Combined with the data in Table 8, by comparing Example 1 with Example 3, it can be seen that by controlling the weight ratio of the provided waste agricultural film to the wax oil sample within the preferred range of the present disclosure, the coke yield in the pyrolysis reaction product can be further improved; by comparing Example 1 with Example 4, it can be seen that by controlling the weight ratio of the provided waste agricultural film to the wax oil sample within the specified range of the present disclosure, and adding a wax oil sample of appropriate quality, the proportion of the condensation reaction in the pyrolysis tower can be effectively controlled to be within an appropriate range, so that the heat carried into the pyrolysis tower is sufficient to better gasify the waste plastic, thereby further improving the coke yield in the pyrolysis reaction product; by comparing Example 1 with Example 5, it can be seen that by controlling the conditions of the melting dehydration and dechlorination treatment within the preferred range of the present disclosure, the coke yield in the pyrolysis reaction product can be improved.
[0089] By comparing Example 2 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that since the wax oil sample of the delayed coking device was not introduced in Comparative Example 2, the pyrolysis reaction was directly carried out, the proportion of condensation reaction in the pyrolysis tower was low, and the heat carried into the pyrolysis tower was lower than that in Example 2, which reduced the gasification effect of the waste plastics. Therefore, the coke yield in the pyrolysis reaction product was lower than that in Example 2.
[0090] It can be seen from Comparative Example 3 that the real waste plastic with a high chlorine content is put into the waste plastic melting, dehydration and dechlorination unit for melting, dehydration and dechlorination treatment to obtain the dehydrated and dechlorinated waste plastic WP-3, and the WP-3 is sent to the screw pump. After plastic reduction and viscosity reduction at 420°C for 30 minutes, the viscosity at 200°C is 282.8cp. After being heated to 480°C, it is sent to the pyrolysis tower for pyrolysis reaction, and fractionated in the distillation tower to obtain dry gas, liquefied gas, gasoline, diesel, wax oil and coke with yields of 2.11%, 3.42%, 41.96%, 15.42%, 3.03% and 32.97% respectively. It can be seen from the hydrocarbon composition of the liquid phase product in the pyrolysis reaction product in Table 5 that after pyrolysis, the liquid phase product of Comparative Example 3 is mainly composed of paraffins and olefins. In the 180-350°C fraction, saturated hydrocarbons + olefins account for 72.8% by weight, and aromatic hydrocarbons account for 22.8% by weight; in the fraction above 350°C, saturated hydrocarbons + olefins account for 47.2% by weight, and aromatic hydrocarbons account for 42.2% by weight. It can be seen that the proportion of aromatic hydrocarbons in Comparative Example 3 increases, the coke yield is high, and the proportion of condensation reaction in the pyrolysis tower is high, so there is no need to add coker wax oil to increase the proportion of condensation reaction.
[0091] It can be seen from Comparative Example 4 that, combined with the data in Table 5, the wax oil sample in the delayed coking unit is introduced into the process of the present disclosure alone. After pyrolysis, the liquid phase product of Comparative Example 4 has saturated hydrocarbons + olefins accounting for 71% by weight and aromatic hydrocarbons accounting for 29% by weight in the 180-350°C fraction; saturated hydrocarbons + olefins accounting for 25.1% by weight and aromatic hydrocarbons accounting for 48.5% by weight in the fraction above 350°C. Compared with Table 6, it can be seen that the combined operation of the delayed coking unit and the process of the present disclosure can further effectively improve the structure of the delayed coking liquid phase product.
