Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a catalyst for preparing a bioavailable carbon source for polyolefin plastics, and in particular to a catalyst for preparing a bioavailable carbon source for polyolefin plastics and a utilization method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Polyolefin plastics, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are widely used worldwide and are among the most popular thermoplastics. These materials are renowned for their lightweight, durable, strong, and cost-effective properties, as well as their excellent electrical insulation and corrosion resistance. These advantages have made polyolefin plastics indispensable in a variety of key sectors, including food packaging, household goods, pipeline construction, construction, electronic equipment, agricultural mulch, and the automotive industry. However, the ubiquity of plastics has also created a significant environmental challenge: the disposal of waste plastics. It is estimated that nearly 60% of plastic products worldwide are landfilled or otherwise discarded in the natural environment without proper treatment. As saturated hydrocarbon compounds, polyolefin plastics lack reactive functional groups, resulting in extremely slow decomposition in the natural environment, exacerbating the problem of waste pollution. Therefore, the development of effective degradation and recycling technologies for polyolefin plastics has become an urgent global issue, attracting significant attention from both scientific and industrial communities. The degradation and recycling of polyolefin plastics are primarily achieved through physical and chemical methods. Physical recycling involves steps such as sorting, washing, drying, and high-temperature melting. While convenient, high-temperature treatment can lead to random polymer chain breakage, reducing the quality and applicability of the recycled plastic. Chemical recycling, on the other hand, decomposes polyolefins into small gaseous or liquid molecules through chemical reactions. These small molecules have the potential to be converted into petrochemical products or recycled plastic raw materials, achieving a win-win situation for both environmental and economic benefits. However, because polyolefins are composed of stable saturated C—H and C—C bonds, the activation and cleavage of these bonds require high energy. Furthermore, the pyrolysis process of polyolefins is difficult to control, often relying on catalysts or additives to regulate the reaction, lowering the cracking temperature, optimizing the product distribution, and increasing the selectivity and yield of the target product. Currently, zeolite molecular sieves and noble metal catalysts are commonly used catalysts for polyolefin degradation, capable of lowering the cracking temperature to approximately 200°C. Despite this, existing chemical recycling technologies still suffer from high costs, insufficient conversion efficiency, low selectivity, and limited product value. Therefore, developing new methods for the efficient and highly selective degradation of polyolefin plastics, while simultaneously achieving high-value catalyst recovery, is a pressing technical challenge. Chlorella utilizes the thermal degradation products of waste plastics as a carbon source, achieving the dual goals of environmental protection and resource recovery. By converting waste plastics into an organic carbon source for the algae to absorb and utilize, this process not only reduces environmental pollution from waste plastics but also promotes the production of biomass energy, achieving high-value utilization of waste. Furthermore, Chlorella growth consumes carbon dioxide, contributing to mitigating the greenhouse effect. Its biomass can be used as biofuel or feed, demonstrating the potential of a circular economy.
[0003] An invention has utilized mass-produced molten salt catalysts for the catalytic degradation of polyolefin plastics, producing highly active molten salt catalysts. Due to the inherently highly polar reaction environment of inorganic molten salts, they significantly increase the standard chemical potential and reactivity of non-ionic reactants such as polyolefins, further stabilizing the carbocation transition state, thereby lowering the total free energy barrier for C-C bond cleavage reactions and significantly improving the thermodynamic and kinetic reactivity of polyolefin catalytic cracking. The molten salt catalyst is mixed with crushed polyolefin plastic, followed by the addition of the additive KHCO₃. Heating for a period of time completes the degradation and upgrading of the polyolefin plastic. The technical principle is that the highly active chloroaluminate in the molten salt reacts electrophilically with the polyolefin to form a carbocation. This carbocation then undergoes hydrogen transfer, isomerization, and cyclization reactions to produce cyclic liquid cracking products consisting primarily of C₃-C₅ alkanes, primarily isobutane, and a small amount of adamantane. The additive KHCO₃ modulates the composition of the chloroaluminate's Lewis acid sites, promoting the catalytic cracking of the polyolefin, ultimately resulting in near-100% mass conversion of the polyolefin. Gas chromatography was used to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the content of the obtained gaseous product, and the mass conversion rate of the gaseous product was more than 90%; a thermogravimetric analyzer was used to evaluate the mass of the liquid product, and then a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry chromatograph was used to analyze the specific structure of the product, and the mass conversion rate of the liquid product was finally obtained to be 7%-14%, mainly containing C9-C14 unsaturated alkanes and C9-C14 cycloalkanes. In the invention, when preparing the molten salt catalyst, the auxiliary agent KHCO3 is mixed with anhydrous sodium chloride, anhydrous potassium chloride, and anhydrous aluminum chloride. The obtained molten salt catalyst is directly mixed with the crushed polyolefin plastic and then heated to react, which can also achieve the same technical effect of degrading polyolefin plastic. In the method of low-temperature catalytic degradation of polyolefin plastic of the present invention, low-temperature molten salt is used as a liquid catalyst and solvent to effectively increase the contact between the catalytic site and the plastic. The high ionic environment of the molten salt stabilizes the reacting carbon cations well and accelerates the mass transfer process, thereby effectively improving the catalytic efficiency and selectivity. The mass recovery rate for polyolefin plastic degradation and upgrading reaches over 99%. The reaction process requires no solvents, initiators, or phase transfer agents, and the degradation temperature is below 100°C, significantly reducing energy consumption and costs. The recovered molten salt catalyst can be reused for low-temperature catalytic degradation of polyolefin plastics. After five cycles, the mass conversion rate of the molten salt catalyst reaches over 97%.
[0004] Currently, in addition to high-temperature hydrogenolysis, ionic liquids are also used for plastic degradation. While high-temperature hydrogenolysis is an effective method for treating plastic waste, it faces challenges such as high energy consumption, high equipment costs, operational safety risks, potential byproduct generation, limited degradation selectivity, environmental impacts, technical complexity, economic feasibility, and raw material availability. These challenges limit its widespread application and require technological innovation and optimization to overcome. Ionic liquids are a class of room-temperature molten salts composed of organic cations and inorganic or organic anions. They have attracted attention for their low volatility, high thermal stability, and excellent solvent properties, showing particular promise in the field of plastic degradation. However, ionic liquids face numerous challenges in practical application. Their complex and costly synthesis process limits the economic viability of large-scale application. Furthermore, the difficulty in separating ionic liquids from plastic degradation products complicates recycling and reuse, further increasing overall costs. Although considered environmentally friendly, the long-term degradability and bioaccumulation of ionic liquids remain unclear. Ionic liquids may be inferior to some traditional thermochemical methods in terms of degradation efficiency, especially for recalcitrant plastics such as polyolefins. They typically require high-temperature or high-pressure reaction conditions, increasing energy consumption and equipment requirements. Furthermore, selectivity issues can complicate the degradation products, increasing the cost of subsequent separation and purification. While ionic liquids have low toxicity, some types may pose potential health and environmental risks. Technical challenges and costs should not be overlooked during the scale-up process from laboratory to industrial scale, as potential side reactions during the degradation process can affect the quality of the final product.

[0015] S2: pyrolysis of plastics;
[0016] S3: Using the degradation liquid as a carbon source to cultivate algae.
[0017] Preferably, the steps of the plastic pyrolysis process are as follows:
[0018] S21: Select a suitable catalyst, polypropylene (PP) plastic to be degraded, and water, and mix 0.2 g of the catalyst with 30 mg of the PP plastic and 30 mL of water in a certain proportion to ensure that the catalyst is evenly distributed in the mixture of the plastic and water;
[0019] S22: The mixed raw materials are placed in a reactor, ensuring that the reactor is sealed to prevent leakage of substances during the reaction process. The mixture is reacted at 140 degrees Celsius for 6 hours. During this time, the catalyst will promote the thermal decomposition of the polypropylene plastic, breaking it down into smaller molecules;
[0020] S23: After the reaction is completed, the reactor is closed and allowed to cool, and then the degradation products are taken out of the reactor and filtered and purified for further use or analysis;
[0021] S24: Perform chemical analysis on the degradation products to determine their composition and characteristics, and to evaluate the efficiency of the pyrolysis process and the potential application value of the products.

[0024] The C7-C15 products in the degradation liquid account for 50-80%, mainly including esters and ethers such as C14H28, C7H10O2, C13H24O2, C13H24O6 and cycloalkanes.
[0025] S32: mixing the pretreated degradation liquid with other nutrients required for culturing Chlorella to prepare a culture medium suitable for the growth of Chlorella, inoculating Chlorella in the culture medium to ensure uniform distribution, and placing the inoculated culture medium under suitable environmental conditions, such as specific temperature, light, and pH value, to promote the growth of Chlorella;
[0026] S33: During the cultivation process, the growth of Chlorella was regularly observed, and its growth rate, morphological changes, etc. were recorded. The growth status of Chlorella was evaluated by measuring parameters such as biomass, chlorophyll content, and cell number.

[0031] (3) In the present application, the use of this catalyst in the degradation of polyolefin plastics can significantly reduce energy consumption and reaction temperature, lowering production costs while also minimizing thermal pollution to the environment. The degraded solution is rich in organic carbon and can be directly used to cultivate Chlorella vulgaris. This microalgae not only absorbs and converts this organic carbon, reducing environmental pollution, but also produces biomass during its growth process. This biomass can be further used to produce biofuels or other high-value-added chemicals, achieving resource recycling and promoting the development of sustainable bioenergy, thus providing a new solution for environmental protection and resource recycling.

[0073] The specific implementation of this embodiment is as follows: The plastic pyrolysis process is a chemical recycling method that converts waste plastic into useful products. In this process, a carefully designed catalyst is mixed with polypropylene (PP) plastic and water and placed in a reactor. Under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, the substances in the reactor react at 100-150 degrees Celsius for 6 hours. The catalyst plays a crucial role in this process, reducing the activation energy of the reaction and accelerating the breakage of plastic molecules, thereby promoting the efficient degradation of polypropylene plastic. As the reaction proceeds, the long-chain molecules of polypropylene plastic are broken down into shorter segments under the action of the catalyst, ultimately converting them into various small-molecule hydrocarbons and other recyclable chemicals. These degradation products not only reduce the impact of plastic waste on the environment but can also be used as chemical raw materials to produce new plastics or other industrial products, achieving resource recycling. In addition, the water produced during the pyrolysis process helps control the reaction temperature and prevent overheating, and also helps to carry and separate the degradation products. By precisely controlling the reaction conditions, the composition of the degradation products can be optimized, improving the yield and quality of the target product. In summary, the plastic pyrolysis process is an effective technology for plastic waste treatment and resource recovery. By using appropriate catalysts and controlling reaction conditions, we are able to convert waste polypropylene plastic into valuable chemical feedstock, contributing to solving the plastic pollution problem and promoting sustainable development.
[0074] This invention represents an innovative advancement in the field of polyolefin plastic degradation technology, proposing a highly efficient method for catalytic degradation of polyolefin plastics at relatively low temperatures. This method not only significantly reduces energy consumption but also effectively converts polyolefin plastics into soluble organic carbon, which can then be used as a carbon source for cultivating Chlorella vulgaris, enabling the biorecycling and reuse of waste plastics. During the experiment, the carefully designed catalyst successfully degraded large-molecule polyolefin plastics into small-molecule organic compounds. Total organic carbon (TOC) and ion chromatography (IC) measurements revealed that 50-70% of the plastic was converted into water-soluble organic carbon, demonstrating the high efficiency of the degradation process. Further mass difference ratio analysis revealed that the degradation efficiency could reach 80-95%, further confirming the superiority of the method. Detailed analysis of the degradation products using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed the production of a variety of short-chain organic compounds. These short-chain organic compounds not only enriched the degradation product diversity but also provided a rich carbon source for subsequent Chlorella vulgaris cultivation.
[0075] In our Chlorella cultivation experiments, we found that the amount of carbon source added significantly impacts Chlorella growth. Both too much and too little carbon source impaired growth, while optimal growth was achieved when the carbon source was added in the right amount. This discovery provides us with an optimized carbon source addition strategy for efficient Chlorella cultivation.
