Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of waste plastic resource recycling, specifically to a processing method and system for fluidized bed cracking of waste plastics. Background Technology

[0002] With technological advancements and industrial development, plastics are now widely used as packaging materials in daily life. Used waste plastics cannot decompose naturally. While only a few types can be recycled through specific channels, a large amount ends up in landfills as household waste, occupying significant space due to their slow decomposition. Especially in recent years, the generation of waste plastics has increased dramatically, making rapid and environmentally friendly recycling an urgent task.

[0003] The simplest way to dispose of waste plastics is through direct incineration, but this produces toxic gases harmful to human health and causes secondary environmental pollution. Waste plastic pyrolysis technology involves breaking down waste plastics under anaerobic or oxygen-deficient conditions through heating or the presence of a catalyst. This process breaks down polymers into lower molecular weight substances, yielding gasoline, kerosene, diesel fractions, and some pyrolysis gases. Waste plastic pyrolysis technology alleviates the pollution caused by waste plastics and enables their recycling, representing an important direction for the resource-based treatment of waste plastics.

[0004] Currently, waste plastic pyrolysis and recycling technologies mainly include waste plastic pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis. CN201710726352.9 discloses a method and equipment for producing gasoline and diesel from waste plastic pyrolysis. This system dissolves crushed and impurity-removed waste plastic in liquid pyrolysis oil, and through precise temperature control, performs melting, dehydration, dechlorination, and pyrolysis upgrading. The process requires a large amount of solvent oil. CN200780003589.9 discloses a method and apparatus for contact decomposition of waste plastic, belonging to catalytic pyrolysis technology. It uses a heated and stirred rotary kiln as a reactor, with an FCC catalyst as the heat medium and catalytic center, and adds appropriate amounts of Ca and Fe compounds to decompose the waste plastic. However, this device requires the contact agent in the reactor to be removed and regenerated after a period of operation. Many other waste plastic pyrolysis technologies use batch pyrolysis reactors. These methods suffer from small processing scales and fail to remove impurities from the products. Summary of the Invention

[0082] The beneficial effect of the fluidized bed cracking processing method for reducing viscosity and dechlorinating waste plastics provided by this invention is that it overcomes the technical problems existing in the current field of waste plastic pyrolysis treatment. During the research process, the inventors discovered that one of the technical problems in the prior art is that polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in waste plastics, when heated and decomposed into HCl, can rapidly undergo an addition reaction with the double bonds in the raw materials to generate chlorinated hydrocarbons, making it difficult for traditional reaction devices to efficiently remove chlorine from waste plastics. To address this technical problem, this invention uses specialized equipment to rapidly heat PVC-containing materials for decomposition and uses a vacuum method to quickly separate the decomposed HCl from the reactor, thereby improving dechlorination efficiency. The second technical problem overcome in existing technologies is that plastic raw materials are high-molecular polymers. Due to their large molecular weight and solid nature, heat transfer within the plastic is very slow. Traditional heating methods cause excessive cracking of the outer layer of the plastic while the interior remains solid, resulting in a high rate of coking and high gas yield during pyrolysis. To address this second problem, specialized equipment is used to rapidly heat the waste plastic into a flowable liquid state through strong extrusion and agitation, reducing its viscosity so that it can be pumped. As the plastic raw material rapidly liquefies, the increased thermal conductivity of the liquid state allows for the use of heating furnaces or other heating equipment to pyrolyze the liquefied plastic oil, achieving a higher liquid yield and a lower coking rate. The third technical problem overcome is that the low density of plastic raw materials leads to a slow rate of entry into the reaction device, and existing technologies have a small processing scale, which cannot meet the needs of modern large-scale recycling. To address this third problem, the method provided by this invention significantly increases the transport density of the plastic raw material after liquefaction, thus enabling not only large-scale waste plastic processing but also continuous pyrolysis and recycling of plastic raw materials.

[0110] In the following embodiments, the particle size range of the particles obtained after pulverization is 5 to 8 mm.

[0111] Example 1

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

[0113] Liquefaction process: The plastic raw material is fed into a twin-screw heated conveyor for liquefaction. The feed rate is 100 kg / h, the outlet temperature of the twin-screw heated conveyor is 390℃, and the residence time is 12 min. The resulting liquefied plastic LP-1 is shown in Table 1.

[0114] Viscosity reduction cracking step: Using an adiabatic viscosity reduction reactor, the liquefied plastic was introduced into the reactor via a screw pump for viscosity reduction cracking treatment. The viscosity reduction reaction temperature was 390℃, and the reaction time was 60 min, yielding a viscosity-reduced cracked liquefied plastic oil. The chlorine content was analyzed, and the viscosity was tested.

[0115] The contact cracking reactor is a riser reactor, with quartz sand as the contact agent. Liquefied plastic oil and steam enter the riser reactor from the bottom, while quartz sand enters from the bottom and flows upward under the lift of the riser gas. The liquefied plastic oil and contact agent flow upward and undergo cracking reaction. At the top of the reactor, gas-solid separation is achieved to obtain reaction oil and gas and the remaining contact agent. The reaction oil and gas are further separated, with the mass ratio of contact agent to plastic raw material being 7:1. The cracking reaction process conditions are: reaction temperature of 510℃, apparent gas velocity of 6.0 m / s, and mass ratio of steam to plastic raw material of 0.4:1.

[0116] Contact agent regeneration steps: The contact agent regenerator is a dense-phase fluidized bed reactor. The raw contact agent (containing 1.3% carbon by weight) and air are introduced into the regenerator for coking and regeneration. The regeneration temperature is 660℃, the apparent gas velocity in the dense-phase bed is 0.3 m / s, and the contact agent residence time is 3 s. The resulting regenerated contact agent is returned to the contact cracking reactor for recycling. First dry gas from the viscosity-reducing reactor and second dry gas from the separation unit are introduced into the contact agent regenerator to react with oxygen to regulate the regeneration temperature.

[0117] The ash obtained from the recycling unit was recycled to the viscosity-reducing reactor as a dechlorination additive, with a recycled ash to plastic raw material weight ratio of 0.035:1. The chlorine content of the liquefied plastic oil was analyzed again under the same viscosity-reducing reaction conditions (reaction temperature 390℃, reaction time 60 min). The product distribution of the cracking reaction products is shown in Table 4. The ash composition and chlorine content of the viscosity-reducing products are shown in Tables 5 and 6.

[0118] Example 2

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

[0120] The same twin-screw heating conveyor with segmented temperature control is used to dehydrate, dechlorinate, and liquefy plastic raw materials.

[0121] Dehydration and dechlorination steps: The plastic raw material is fed into a twin-screw heating conveyor at a feed rate of approximately 5 kg / h. It is melted and dehydrated at a first temperature of 150°C and a residence time of 0.1 h. It is then dechlorinated at a second temperature of 300°C and a residence time of 0.1 h, with a heating rate of 100°C / min from the first temperature to the second temperature. The twin-screw heating conveyor is connected to a vacuum pump with a vacuum degree of 150 mmHg, resulting in dehydrated and dechlorinated plastic raw material.

[0122] Liquefaction process: The dehydrated and dechlorinated plastic raw materials were liquefied using the same twin-screw heated conveyor. The outlet temperature of the twin-screw heated conveyor is listed in Table 2. The residence time was 12 min. The resulting liquefied plastics were LP-2a, LP-2b, LP-2c, and LP-2d. The composition of liquefied plastic LP-2b is shown in Table 1.

[0123] Viscosity reduction cracking step: The liquefied plastics obtained by liquefaction treatment at different temperatures were subjected to viscosity reduction cracking treatment to obtain liquefied plastic oils 1-8 under 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℃, reaction time 60min) was used as the cracking feedstock. The contact cracking reactor adopted a riser reactor. The contact agent SL-1 entered the riser reactor from the bottom under the riser gas. The liquefied plastic oil and steam entered the riser reactor and flowed upward with the fluidized contact agent to carry out the cracking reaction, obtaining reaction oil gas and recycled contact agent. At the top of the riser reactor, the reaction oil gas entered the gas-solid separation device for gas-solid separation. The separated reaction oil gas was further separated, and the recycled contact agent and carbon ash were sent to the contact agent regenerator for coking and regeneration.

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

[0126] The regeneration steps for the recycled contact agent and the carbonized ash are the same as in Example 1. The ash obtained from the regeneration unit is recycled to the viscosity-reducing reactor as a dechlorination additive. The weight ratio of recycled ash to plastic raw material is 0.035:1. The chlorine content of liquefied plastic oil 4 under the same viscosity-reducing reaction conditions (reaction temperature 390℃, reaction time 60min) is analyzed again. The product distribution of the cracking reaction products is shown in Table 4. The ash composition and chlorine content of the viscosity-reducing products are shown in Tables 5 and 6.

[0132] The same process as in Example 2 was used, with SL-1 as the contact agent. The difference was that the ash obtained from the contact agent regenerator was recycled to the viscosity-reducing cracking reactor as a dechlorination additive, with a weight ratio of recycled ash to plastic raw material of 0.04:1. The product distribution of the cracking reaction products is shown in Table 4. The chlorine content of the viscosity-reducing products before and after ash recycling is shown in Table 5.

[0133] Example 4

[0134] Plastic raw material 2 is household waste plastic, and its properties are shown in Table 1.

[0135] A twin-screw heating conveyor was used as the melting, dehydration, and dechlorination equipment. The feed rate of the plastic raw material was approximately 5 kg / h. The process conditions for melting, dehydration, and dechlorination were as follows: the first temperature was 150℃; the residence time was 0.1 h; the second temperature was 300℃; the residence time was 0.1 h; the heating rate from the first temperature to the second temperature was 100℃ / min; and the vacuum degree of the screw heating conveyor was 150 mmHg. Dehydrated and dechlorinated plastic raw material was obtained.

[0136] The same twin-screw heated conveyor was used to liquefy the dehydrated and dechlorinated plastic raw material to obtain liquefied plastic LP-3, the properties of which are shown in Table 1. The liquefaction process conditions were: outlet temperature of the twin-screw heated conveyor 390℃ and residence time of 12min. The obtained liquefied waste plastic was then subjected to viscosity reduction cracking treatment. The viscosity reduction cracking treatment process conditions included: reaction temperature of 390℃ and reaction time of 60min, to obtain liquefied plastic oil LP-3-60.

[0137] Using liquefied plastic oil LP-3-60 as raw material, the cracking reaction process was the same as in Example 2, with contact agent SL-1 used. The product distribution of the cracking reaction products is shown in Table 4. The chlorine content of the viscosity-reducing products before and after ash recycling is shown in Table 5.

[0140] Example 5

[0141] Using the liquefied plastic oil LP-3-60 obtained in Example 4 as raw material, the same process as in Example 5 was adopted, except that contact agent CRC-1 was used. The liquefied plastic oil and steam obtained from viscosity reduction cracking were introduced into the contact cracking reactor (riser reactor) and contacted with the fluidized contact agent to carry out the cracking reaction, obtaining reaction oil gas and raw contact agent. The mass ratio of contact agent to plastic raw material was 7:1. The process conditions for the cracking reaction included: reaction temperature of 500℃, apparent gas velocity of 4.0 m / s, and mass ratio of steam to 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 viscosity reduction products before and after ash recycling is shown in Table 5.

[0143]

[0144] As can be seen from the data in Table 4, when the process flow and conditions of this disclosure are met, the yield of the C5-180℃ fraction is 53.33%-63.20% by weight.

[0150] As can be seen from Table 6, when ash is recycled to the viscosity-reducing reactor as a dechlorination additive, the chlorine content in the viscosity-reducing product can be significantly reduced, which can effectively prevent chlorine corrosion and reduce the chlorine content in the product.
