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 fluidized cracking of waste plastic. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and industrial development, plastics are now widely used as packaging materials in our daily lives. However, used plastic waste cannot decompose naturally, and only a few types of waste plastic can be reprocessed and reused through specific recycling channels. A large amount of waste plastic ends up in landfills as household waste. Because waste plastics are difficult to decompose, they occupy a significant amount of space. The rapid increase in waste plastic generation in recent years has made the rapid and environmentally friendly recycling of waste plastics an urgent task.

[0003] The simplest way to dispose of waste plastics is direct incineration, but this produces toxic gases harmful to humans and causes secondary environmental pollution. Waste plastic pyrolysis technology involves cracking waste plastics in the absence or absence of oxygen by heating or in the presence of a catalyst, breaking down high polymers into low-molecular-weight substances. These products produce gasoline, kerosene, diesel fractions, and some pyrolysis gases. This technology alleviates the pollution caused by waste plastics while enabling their recycling, making it a key area of waste plastic resource recovery.

[0004] At present, waste plastic cracking and recycling technologies mainly include waste plastic pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis technologies. CN201710726352.9 discloses a method and equipment for preparing gasoline and diesel by cracking waste plastics. The system dissolves the crushed and impurity-removed waste plastics in liquid pyrolysis oil, and performs melting, dehydration, dechlorination, cracking and quality improvement through precise temperature control. The process requires a large amount of solvent oil. For example, CN200780003589.9 discloses a method and device for contact decomposition of waste plastics, which belongs to catalytic pyrolysis technology. A heated and stirred rotary kiln is used as a reactor, an FCC catalyst is used as a heat medium and a catalytic center, and an appropriate amount of Ca and Fe compounds are added to decompose the waste plastics. However, after the device has been operated for a period of time, the contact agent in the reactor needs to be removed and regenerated. More waste plastic cracking technologies use intermittent thermal cracking reactors. This type of method has the problem of small processing scale, and impurities in the product cannot be removed.

[0082] The beneficial effect of the fluidized cracking process for viscous dechlorination of waste plastics provided by the present invention is that it overcomes technical problems currently existing in the field of pyrolysis treatment of waste plastics. During their research, the inventors discovered that one of the technical problems with the existing technology is that polyvinyl chloride in waste plastics decomposes upon heating to produce HCl, which rapidly reacts with double bonds in the raw materials to form chlorinated hydrocarbons, making it difficult to efficiently remove chlorine from the waste plastics using conventional reaction apparatus. To address the first technical problem, the present invention uses specialized equipment to rapidly heat the polyvinyl chloride-containing waste plastics to decompose it, and uses a vacuum method to quickly separate the decomposed HCl from the reactor, thereby improving dechlorination efficiency. The second technical problem in the existing technology overcomes: Plastic raw materials are high molecular weight 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 plastic's exterior to be overheated and cracked, while the interior of the plastic remains solid. As a result, the plastic pyrolysis coke rate is high and the gas yield is high. To address the second difficulty, special equipment is used to increase the heating area through strong extrusion and stirring to quickly heat the waste plastic until it becomes a flowable liquid, and the viscosity is reduced so that it can be transported using a pump. When the plastic raw material is quickly liquefied, the thermal conductivity of the liquid is greatly increased. A heating furnace or other heating equipment can be used to perform a pyrolysis reaction on the liquefied plastic oil, which can obtain a higher liquid yield and a lower coking rate. The third technical problem overcomes: The density of the plastic raw material is low, and the rate at which the plastic raw material 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. To address the third technical problem, after the plastic raw material is liquefied, the method provided by the present invention greatly increases the transportation density of the raw material. Therefore, it can not only achieve large-scale processing of waste plastics but also achieve continuous pyrolysis recovery of plastic raw materials.

[0110] In the following examples, the particle size of the particles obtained by the pulverization process ranges from 5 to 8 mm.

[0111] Example 1

[0112] The plastic raw material is waste agricultural film, and the composition is shown in Table 1.

[0113] Liquefaction treatment steps: The plastic raw material is fed into a twin-screw heating and conveying equipment for liquefaction treatment at a feed rate of 100 kg / h, an outlet temperature of the twin-screw heating and conveying equipment of 390°C, and a residence time of 12 min to obtain liquefied plastic LP-1, the composition of which is shown in Table 1.

[0114] Visbreaking step: Using an adiabatic visbreaking reactor, the liquefied plastic was introduced via a screw pump into the reactor for visbreaking. The visbreaking reaction temperature was 390°C and the visbreaking reaction time was 60 minutes to obtain a visbroken liquefied plastic oil. Chlorine content was analyzed and viscosity was tested.

[0115] The contact cracking reactor adopts a riser reactor, and the contact agent is quartz sand. The liquefied plastic oil and steam enter the riser reactor from the bottom, and the quartz sand enters the riser reactor from the bottom, and flows upward under the lifting of the lifting gas. The liquefied plastic oil and the contact agent flow upward and undergo a cracking reaction. The gas and solid separation is carried out at the top of the reactor to obtain reaction oil gas and to-be-generated contact agent. The reaction oil and gas are further separated, wherein the mass ratio of the contact agent to the plastic raw material is 7:1. The cracking reaction process conditions are: reaction temperature is 510°C, apparent gas velocity is 6.0m / s, and the mass ratio of steam to plastic raw material is 0.4:1.

[0116] Contact agent regeneration process: The contact agent regenerator is a dense phase fluidized bed reactor. Regenerated contact agent (carbon content: 1.3 wt%) and air are introduced into the contact agent regenerator for char regeneration. The regeneration temperature is 660°C, the superficial gas velocity in the dense phase bed is 0.3 m / s, and the contact agent residence time is 3 seconds. The regenerated contact agent is returned to the contact cracking reactor for recycling. The first dry gas from the visbreaking reactor and the second dry gas from the separation unit are introduced into the contact agent regenerator to react with oxygen to adjust the regeneration temperature.

[0117] The ash from the regeneration unit was recycled to the visbreaking reactor as a dechlorination additive, with a weight ratio of recycled ash to plastic feedstock of 0.035:1. The liquefied plastic oil was analyzed again for chlorine content under the same visbreaking reaction conditions (reaction temperature 390°C, reaction time 60 minutes). The product distribution of the cracking reaction products is shown in Table 4. The ash composition and chlorine content of the visbreaking products are shown in Tables 5 and 6.

[0118] Example 2

[0119] The plastic raw materials are the same as those in Example 1.

[0120] The plastic raw materials are dehydrated, dechlorinated and liquefied using the same twin-screw heating and conveying equipment with segmented temperature control.

[0121] Dehydration and dechlorination steps: the plastic raw material is added to a twin-screw heating and conveying device at a feeding rate of about 5 kg / h, and is melted and dehydrated under the conditions of a first temperature of 150° C. and a residence time of 0.1 h; dechlorination is carried out under the conditions of a second temperature of 300° C. and a residence time of 0.1 h, and the heating rate from the first temperature to the second temperature is 100° C. / min; the twin-screw heating and conveying device is connected to a vacuum pumping device with a vacuum degree of 150 mmHg to obtain a dehydrated and dechlorinated plastic raw material.

[0122] Liquefaction treatment step: The dehydrated and dechlorinated plastic raw material was liquefied using the same twin-screw heating and conveying equipment. The outlet temperature of the twin-screw heating and conveying equipment is listed in Table 2. The residence time is 12 minutes to obtain liquefied plastics LP-2a, LP-2b, LP-2c, and LP-2d. The composition and content of the liquefied plastic LP-2b are shown in Table 1.

[0123] Visbreaking step: The liquefied plastics obtained by liquefaction treatment at different temperatures were subjected to visbreaking treatment to obtain liquefied plastic oils 1-8 with different treatment conditions. The chlorine content was analyzed and the viscosity of the liquefied plastic oils was tested. The reaction conditions and results are shown in Table 2.

[0124] Liquefied plastic oil 4 (LP-2b-60, viscosity reduction reaction temperature 390°C, reaction time 60 minutes) was used as the cracking feedstock. The contact cracking reactor employed a riser reactor. The contact agent SL-1 was introduced from the bottom of the riser reactor by lifting gas. The liquefied plastic oil and steam then flowed upward with the fluidized contact agent, undergoing a cracking reaction. This reaction oil gas and regenerated contact agent then entered a gas-solid separation device at the top of the riser reactor for gas-solid separation. The separated reaction oil gas was further separated, and the separated regenerated contact agent and carbon-bearing ash were then introduced into a contact agent regenerator for char regeneration.

[0125] The mass ratio of the contact agent to the plastic raw material is 7:1, and the process conditions of the cracking reaction include: a reaction temperature of 510°C, a superficial gas velocity of 6.0 m / s, and a mass ratio of steam to the plastic raw material of 0.4:1;

[0126] The regeneration steps for the regenerated contact agent and charcoal-bearing ash were the same as in Example 1. The ash obtained from the regeneration unit was recycled to the visbreaking reactor as a dechlorination additive, with a weight ratio of recycled ash to plastic feedstock of 0.035:1. Liquefied plastic oil 4 was again analyzed for chlorine content under the same visbreaking reaction conditions (reaction temperature 390°C, reaction time 60 minutes). The product distribution of the cracking reaction products is shown in Table 4. The ash composition and chlorine content of the visbreaking products are shown in Tables 5 and 6.

[0136] The dehydrated and dechlorinated plastic raw material was liquefied using the same twin-screw heating and conveying equipment to obtain liquefied plastic LP-3. The properties are shown in Table 1. The process conditions for the liquefaction treatment were: an outlet temperature of 390°C for the twin-screw heating and conveying equipment, and a residence time of 12 min. The obtained liquefied waste plastic was subjected to visbreaking treatment. The process conditions for the visbreaking treatment included a reaction temperature of 390°C and a reaction time of 60 min to obtain liquefied plastic oil LP-3-60.

[0137] Using liquefied plastic oil LP-3-60 as the raw material, the cracking reaction steps were the same as in Example 2, using contact agent SL-1.

[0140] Example 5

[0141] The liquefied plastic oil LP-3-60 obtained in Example 4 was used as the raw material, and the same process as in Example 5 was employed, except that the contact agent CRC-1 was used, and the visbroken liquefied plastic oil and steam were introduced into a contact cracking reactor (riser reactor), where they contacted the fluidized contact agent to undergo a cracking reaction, yielding reaction oil gas and regenerated contact agent. The mass ratio of the contact agent to the plastic raw material was 7:1, and the process conditions for the cracking reaction included a reaction temperature of 500°C, a superficial gas velocity of 4.0 m / s, and a mass ratio of steam to the plastic raw material of 0.4:1. The product distribution of the cracking reaction products is shown in Table 4. The chlorine content of the visbroken products before and after ash recycling is shown in Table 5.
