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 a processing system for rapid liquefaction, pyrolysis and cracking of waste plastic. Background Art
[0002] Plastics appear in large quantities in human daily life as packaging materials. Used waste plastics cannot decompose 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 enter landfills in the form of domestic waste. Since waste plastics are not easy to decompose, they occupy a lot of space. The chemical recycling process of waste plastics mainly includes pyrolysis, gasification and ammonia decomposition, among which pyrolysis technology is a hot research direction. The existing waste plastic oil recovery technology mainly includes waste plastic thermal cracking, catalytic thermal cracking and thermal cracking catalytic modification technology. The thermal cracking method has the advantages of simple process, relatively less equipment investment, no need for catalysts, and short reaction process, making the thermal cracking method 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 rate and a relatively simple product composition, which can be used as oil products or chemical raw materials.
[0003] CN109401774A discloses a waste plastic continuous pyrolysis system and a pyrolysis method thereof, the system comprising a loading device, a feeding device, a pyrolysis reactor and a slag discharge device connected in sequence. 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 provides 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.
[0004] At present, most processes still have the following problems: on the one hand, the pyrolysis reactor used in the waste plastic oil recovery technology has serious entrainment, resulting in a high ash content in the pyrolysis product, which is easy to block the pipeline and the distillation tower filler, resulting in the inability to continue production; on the other hand, the polyvinyl chloride in the waste plastic is decomposed into HCl by heat, which can quickly react with the double bonds in the raw materials to form chlorinated hydrocarbons, making it difficult for traditional reaction devices to efficiently remove chlorine from waste plastics. Waste plastics are high molecular polymers. Due to their huge molecular weight and solid state, the heat transfer inside the plastic is very slow. Traditional heating methods will cause the outside of the plastic to be overheated and cracked, while the inside of the plastic is still solid. As a result, the waste plastic pyrolysis coke rate is high and the gas yield is high. At the same time, the density of the waste plastic is low, and the rate at which the waste plastic enters the reaction device is low. The processing scale of the existing technology is small and cannot meet the needs of modern large-scale recycling. Summary of the invention

[0068] Waste agricultural film (mainly made of PE, with a chlorine content of 0.0162% by weight) is sent to the waste plastic melting dechlorination unit for melting 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 dechlorination unit uses a second twin-screw heating and conveying device and a vacuum device connected to the second twin-screw heating and conveying device.

The waste plastic material is cooled and crushed to obtain dechlorinated waste plastic particles WP-1. The properties of the obtained dechlorinated waste plastic particles WP-1 are shown in Table 1.
[0069] The dechlorinated waste plastic particles WP-1 are sent to the first twin-screw heating and conveying equipment for liquefaction treatment. The liquefied waste plastic has an outlet temperature of 400°C, a residence time of 6 minutes, a feed rate of 100 kg / h, a screw diameter of 65 mm, and an outlet pressure of 0.2 MPa. The liquefied waste plastic is sent to an adiabatic plastic reduction and viscosity reduction reactor for plastic reduction and viscosity reduction cracking treatment to obtain a plastic reduction and viscosity reduction liquefied waste plastic oil. The reaction temperature is 400°C, and samples are taken at residence times of 30 minutes, 50 minutes, and 70 minutes, respectively, and are recorded as WP-1-30, WP-1-50, and WP-1-70.

[0072] Comparative Example 1 The raw materials and waste plastic melting dechlorination equipment and method of Example 1 were used, except that the outlet temperature was set to 250°C and the residence time was 0.1h. The morphology of the waste plastic after transportation under different outlet temperature conditions was tested to obtain liquefied waste plastic WP-1-1, and its properties are listed in Table 2.
[0073] WP-1-1 was heated to 250°C by a screw heating and conveying device and directly squeezed into a normal pressure container with an internal temperature of 250°C and a gas outlet. The temperature was kept for 60 minutes, and a sample WP-1-1-60 was taken to test the viscosity. Its viscosity was too large and exceeded the measurement range. Its form was a plastic solid and could not flow by itself, indicating the necessity of deplasticizing and reducing the viscosity of waste plastics. The purpose is to reduce the viscosity of liquefied waste plastics without coking and excessive cracking, so as to form uniform and fluidized waste plastics that can be transported by a pump.

[0099] According to the data in Table 2, when the plastic reduction and viscosity reduction treatment meets the reaction temperature of 390-420℃ and the residence time of 30-70min, different viscosity reduction temperatures have different optimal viscosity reduction times.

[0106] Table 9 Properties of coke products from Example 3
[0107] As can be seen from Example 1, the waste agricultural film is subjected to hot melt dechlorination treatment by a twin-screw heating and conveying device to obtain the dechlorinated waste plastic WP-1. Since most of the chlorine in the waste agricultural film is inorganic chlorine, it is not decomposed into hydrogen chloride during the dechlorination process, but enters into the dechlorinated waste plastic WP-1, so the chlorine content of WP-1 does not change. After the dechlorinated waste plastic WP-1 is subjected to plastic reduction and viscosity reduction in a plastic reduction and viscosity reduction reactor, the viscosity at 200°C is reduced to 267.6cp, and the sample has a stable flow state. After graded heating and mixing, it is sent to the pyrolysis tower provided in Example 1 for pyrolysis reaction, and the dry gas, liquefied gas, gasoline, diesel, wax oil and coke are obtained by fractionation in a fractionation tower with yields of 1.61%, 2.54%, 15.15%, 40.06%, 32.22% and 8.26%.
[0108] As can be seen from Example 2, after the real waste plastic with high chlorine content is subjected to hot melt dechlorination treatment by a twin-screw heating and conveying device, most of the chlorine in the waste plastic is removed; after the dechlorinated waste plastic WP-2 is reduced in plasticity and viscosity at 420°C for 30 minutes, the viscosity at 200°C is reduced to 282.8cp, and the sample has a stable flow state. After graded heating and mixing, it is sent to the pyrolysis tower provided in Example 2 for pyrolysis reaction, and the dry gas, liquefied gas, gasoline, diesel, wax oil and coke are obtained by fractionation in a fractionation tower with yields of 5.39%, 4.89%, 24.32%, 23.21%, 10.91% and 20.96% respectively. Since the waste plastic contains a certain amount of polyester, and after long-term oxidation, the raw material contains a certain amount of oxygen, so the pyrolysis product contains a certain amount of CO and CO2.
[0109] Comparing Examples 1 and 2 with Comparative Examples 2 and 3, it can be seen that, combined with the data in Table 4, the solid content of the wax oil fraction in the pyrolysis reaction product obtained by the processing method for rapid liquefaction, pyrolysis and cracking of waste plastics provided by the present disclosure is only 0.01% and 0.017%, achieving a good solid removal effect. As can be seen from Comparative Example 2, the process system and raw materials of Example 2 are adopted, because the pyrolysis reactor used is only a conventional cylindrical reactor, which leads to the inability to effectively settle the ash particles in the reactor, and it is easy to be entrained out of the pyrolysis reactor, the ash content in the pyrolysis oil gas increases, and the solid content in the wax oil fraction is higher than that in Examples 1 and 2. As can be seen from Comparative Example 3, the process system and raw materials of Example 2 are adopted, because the pyrolysis reactor is a conventional cylindrical reactor including a baffle, the ash particles cannot be effectively settled in the reactor only by the baffle, resulting in an increase in the ash content in the pyrolysis oil gas, and the solid content in the wax oil fraction is higher than that in Examples 1 and 2.
[0110] As can be seen from Example 3, after the waste agricultural film is processed by the process provided by the present disclosure, the liquid yield (including liquefied gas) of pyrolysis can reach 87.43%, and the coke yield is relatively small. The properties of the obtained naphtha, diesel and wax oil show that the ash content of each fraction oil is low, the mass fraction of hydrogen element is high, the mass fraction of olefins is high, the mass fraction of aromatics is low, and the content of chlorine and silicon heteroatoms is low, and it can be directly sent to the refinery for post-processing. The solid content in the wax oil fraction is only 0.007%. The sum of the mass fractions of trienes in the pyrolysis gas is high (>45% by weight), and the ash content of coke is as high as 50.5% by weight, which cannot be sold as a product and can be used as a boiler fuel for blending.
[0111] By comparing Example 3 with Examples 4 to 6, it can be seen that, combined with the data in Table 5, since the internal structure of the pyrolysis reactor provided in Examples 4 to 6 is not within the scope of the present disclosure, the ash particles cannot be effectively settled in the reactor and are easily entrained out of the pyrolysis reactor, resulting in an increase in the ash content in the pyrolysis oil and gas, causing pipeline blockage, and coking in the reactor, thereby increasing the coke content in the pyrolysis reaction product, and the total liquid yield is also reduced.
[0112] Combined with the data in Table 6, by comparing Example 3 with Examples 7 and 8, it can be seen that controlling the pyrolysis reaction conditions within the preferred range and limited range of the present disclosure can further reduce the solid content and coke content in the wax oil fraction in the pyrolysis reaction product, and further improve the liquid yield; by comparing Example 3 with Example 9, it can be seen that controlling the melt dechlorination treatment within the preferred range of the present disclosure can further reduce the solid content in the wax oil fraction in the pyrolysis reaction product, and further improve the liquid yield.
[0113] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0114] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.
[0115] In addition, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
