W is specifically the width of the 90% mass loss interval in the thermogravimetric analysis test procedure.
[0012] Furthermore, the detection unit includes: The parameter detection subunit is connected to the cracking unit and is used to insert the temperature measuring end of the thermometer into the center of the material to measure the cracking temperature, and to measure the cracking pressure in the gas phase space above the cracking reactor through a pressure sensitive element.
[0013] Furthermore, the detection unit further includes: The product detection subunit is connected to the cracking unit and is used to detect the long-chain alkane content and benzene concentration of the cracked gas by gas chromatography, measure the viscosity and olefin ratio of the cracked liquid by Brookfield viscometer, and obtain the carbon deposition rate by sampling and detecting the cracked solid on the inner wall of the cracking reactor.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the present invention is that the present invention constructs a plastic feeding model by collecting parameters of the original plastic, and regulates the feed amount in combination with the moisture content and the weight ratio of each monomer plastic. In the plastic cracking and recovery process, the properties of the original plastic have an important influence on the cracking process and product distribution. By collecting these parameters, the characteristics of the input material can be better understood. The moisture in the plastic will affect the cracking process. Excessive moisture may cause unstable cracking temperature, increase energy consumption, and may affect the quality and output of the product. By monitoring the moisture content, the feed amount can be adjusted to ensure the stability and efficiency of the cracking process. Waste polyolefin plastics are usually mixed with multiple monomer plastics. Different monomer plastics have different cracking characteristics. Therefore, the feed amount needs to be regulated according to the weight ratio of each monomer plastic. Through multi-dimensional data monitoring, combined with the feed model and parameter control, refined management of the cracking process can be achieved, effectively improving the accuracy of the waste polyolefin plastic cracking and recovery system based on multi-dimensional data monitoring.
[0017] Furthermore, the present invention guides the current cracking process by detecting the parameters of the original plastic and matching the processing parameters with the same parameters in the processing system based on the parameters. By detecting the parameters of the original plastic and matching the processing technology with the same parameters in the past, a basic cracking process parameter group is screened out and then combined with thermodynamic parameters and the difference values calculated based on moisture content and feed amount to further determine the optimal cracking process parameters. The cracking temperature curve and time parameters are dynamically generated completely by thermodynamic parameters, avoiding historical experience deviations and solving the defect of traditional processes relying on fixed temperatures. Therefore, the temperature and time parameters are completely generated by thermal analysis data and are not affected by historical parameters. In traditional cracking processing, it is often necessary to adjust parameters multiple times to find the optimal cracking conditions. This method reduces the trial and error process through experience matching and directly adopts verified process parameters, thereby significantly improving the cracking efficiency. The process parameters based on past experience are usually optimized to ensure that the cracking process is carried out under the lowest energy consumption. Accurate process parameters can avoid the equipment from operating under unsuitable conditions, thereby reducing equipment wear and maintenance costs. This method relies on the detection of original plastic parameters and the analysis of past processing data. It is a data-driven decision-making method. By accumulating a large amount of processing data, the system can continuously optimize the matching algorithm and improve the accuracy of decision-making. By detecting and matching process parameters, the system can flexibly handle waste plastics of different compositions and states, further improving the accuracy of the waste polyolefin plastic cracking and recovery system based on multi-dimensional data monitoring.
[0018] Furthermore, the present invention adjusts the parameters of the cracking process by detecting the product associated with the cracking process parameters. During the cracking process, the composition and yield of the product will be affected by multiple parameters such as cracking temperature, pressure, and feed rate. By detecting the product, the system can understand the effect of the current cracking process in real time and dynamically adjust the cracking parameters according to the actual state of the product. Over-cracking may result in excessive low-value by-products in the product, while under-cracking will result in incomplete conversion of the raw material. By detecting the product and adjusting the cracking parameters, these two situations can be effectively avoided, ensuring that the cracking process is always in the best state. By detecting the product, the system can accurately adjust the cracking parameters according to the requirements of the target product, thereby improving the quality and purity of the product. Some impurities and by-products may be generated during the cracking process. These substances will affect the quality and subsequent application of the product. By real-time monitoring of the product and adjusting the cracking parameters, the generation of these impurities and by-products can be reduced, thereby improving the overall quality of the product. By accurately controlling the cracking process, it can be ensured that the raw material is converted into the target product to the maximum extent, reducing the waste of raw materials caused by incomplete cracking or improper parameters, and further improving the accuracy of the waste polyolefin plastic cracking and recovery system based on multi-dimensional data monitoring.
[0019] Furthermore, the present invention improves the timeliness of monitoring the cracking process by adjusting the cracking-related parameters of the cracking reactor. By adjusting the relevant parameters of the cracking reactor, the system can more quickly obtain real-time data from the cracking process. This real-time monitoring capability enables the system to promptly detect anomalies or deviations during the cracking process and make rapid adjustments. Traditional cracking and recovery systems may be unable to promptly capture key changes in the cracking process due to delays in monitoring equipment or slow data processing speeds. The present invention reduces this lag by optimizing parameter adjustment, ensuring that the system can quickly respond to dynamic changes in the cracking process. By optimizing and adjusting the parameters of the cracking reactor, the system can more accurately control the cracking process. Multidimensional data monitoring combined with parameter adjustment can reduce errors and uncertainties caused by changes in equipment, raw materials, or operating conditions. Traditional cracking and recovery systems may have low cracking efficiency due to unreasonable parameter settings. The present invention avoids ineffective operations and improves cracking efficiency through real-time monitoring and parameter adjustment. Waste polyolefin plastics may have large differences in composition and state. By adjusting the parameters of the cracking reactor, the system can flexibly process different types of plastics, improving the system's versatility and adaptability, and further enhancing the accuracy of the waste polyolefin plastic cracking and recovery system based on multidimensional data monitoring.

[0024] See also Figure 1 As shown, it is a structural block diagram of a waste polyolefin plastic cracking and recovery system based on multi-dimensional data monitoring of the present invention. An embodiment of the present invention provides a waste polyolefin plastic cracking and recovery system based on multi-dimensional data monitoring, comprising: A pre-treatment unit, which is used to crush, clean and dry waste polyolefin plastics to generate plastic raw materials; a collection unit connected to the pretreatment unit, for collecting the moisture content, plastic density, and composition ratio of each monomer plastic of the plastic raw material, and performing differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis on representative plastic raw material samples to obtain thermodynamic parameters including melting temperature, cracking onset temperature, maximum weight loss rate temperature, and predicted carbon residue rate; A feeding unit connected to the collection unit is used to build a plastic feeding model based on the plastic density and the component ratio, and to control the feeding amount based on the plastic feeding model and the moisture content, and to associate the thermodynamic parameters in real time with the feeding batch corresponding to the sampling period; a cracking unit, connected to the collection unit and the feeding unit, respectively, for matching cracking process parameters according to the plastic feeding model, the moisture content, the feeding amount, and the thermodynamic parameters corresponding to the feeding batch, and adjusting the cracking reactor based on the cracking process parameters; A detection unit connected to the cracking unit is used to detect cracking process parameters of the cracking reactor and cracking products. The cracking process parameters include cracking temperature, cracking pressure and cracking time. The cracking products include cracking gas, cracking liquid and cracking solid. The control unit is connected to the cracking unit and the detection unit respectively, and is used to adjust the cracking process parameters based on the cracking products and determine whether the cracking reaction is completed. When it is determined that the cracking reaction is completed, the cracking process parameters are recorded and the cracking process parameters are adjusted in combination with the plastic feeding model.
[0025] Specifically, the acquisition unit includes: A component subunit, which is connected to the pre-processing unit and is used to determine the composition ratio of each monomer plastic of the waste polyolefin plastic based on image analysis and infrared spectroscopy; a measuring subunit, connected to the pre-processing unit, for measuring the density of the plastic based on a density gradient column method and detecting the moisture content by a drying method; The thermal analysis subunit includes a conveyor belt dynamic sampling device, a micro differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) combined device. It obtains the dried plastic raw material flow through a pneumatic sampling valve installed in the middle of the conveyor belt in the conveyor belt dynamic sampling device, generates a representative sample of a certain mass through an automatic reduction device, and conveys it to the micro differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) combined device for thermal analysis. Specifically, under a nitrogen atmosphere, a differential scanning calorimetry test procedure is performed: the plastic sample is heated from room temperature to 300°C at a constant heating rate of 20°C / min, and its melting temperature is determined by monitoring the sample absorption / release heat changes; and a thermogravimetric analysis test procedure is performed: the temperature is increased to 600°C at 30°C / min to obtain the cracking starting temperature, the maximum weight loss rate temperature, and the predicted residual carbon rate. As you can understand, the pre-processing unit first cleans the waste polyolefin plastics, then uses a high-resolution digital camera or industrial camera to capture them from different angles. The images are processed for noise reduction and feature extraction. Using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, the collected spectra are compared with the infrared spectra of standard polyolefin plastics to identify characteristic absorption peaks. The results of image analysis and infrared spectroscopy are then combined. Image analysis provides preliminary classification and appearance characteristics, while infrared spectroscopy provides precise chemical composition.
[0026] It is understandable that according to the density range of the plastic to be tested, two appropriate liquids are selected. For plastics with a density of 0.83-0.96g / cm³, a liquid with a density less than 0.83g / cm³ and a liquid with a density greater than 0.96g / cm³ can be selected. For example, the two liquids are: acetone (density 0.7899g / cm³) and saturated salt water (density 1.2g / cm³) or water (density 1g / cm³). Of course, according to actual needs, other two miscible liquids can also be selected. The two liquids are mixed in a certain proportion and poured into the density gradient column. Start with the liquid with lower density and slowly add the liquid with higher density to avoid mixing the liquids. Mark several points of known density on the density gradient column. The positions of these points can be determined by adding standard samples of known density. Gently place the dried plastic sample into the density gradient column to avoid violent collision between the sample and the liquid. After the sample is still, observe its suspension position in the density gradient column. The sample will be suspended in a liquid layer with the same density as its density. According to the suspension position of the sample, read the corresponding density value on the density gradient column. If the sample is suspended between two marked points, its density can be calculated by interpolation.
[0027] Specifically, the feeding unit includes: A modeling subunit, which is connected to the collection unit and is used to calculate the weight ratio of each monomer plastic according to the plastic density and component ratio to build a plastic feeding model; an execution subunit, which is connected to the acquisition unit and the modeling subunit respectively, and is used to compare the moisture content with the preset moisture content, determine whether to start feeding based on the comparison result, and when it is determined that feeding is started, adjust the feeding amount based on the weight ratio; If the moisture content is greater than or equal to the preset moisture content, the feed is determined to be closed; If the moisture content is less than the preset moisture content, it is determined that the feed is started; In a specific embodiment, the preset moisture content is set to 2%. If the moisture content is 4% and is greater than the preset moisture content, it is determined that the feed is shut down. If the moisture content is 1.2% which is less than the preset moisture content, the feed is started; The preset moisture content is positively correlated with the weight ratio of the polar plastic.
[0028] It is understandable that polar plastics have strong water absorption. The greater the weight ratio of polar plastics, the greater the water content. Therefore, the preset water content is positively correlated with the weight ratio of polar plastics.
[0029] Optionally, the preset moisture content range is 2% to 3%.
[0030] Specifically, the present invention constructs a plastic feeding model by collecting parameters of the original plastic, and regulates the feed amount in combination with the moisture content and the weight ratio of each monomer plastic. In the plastic cracking and recovery process, the properties of the original plastic have an important influence on the cracking process and product distribution. By collecting these parameters, the characteristics of the input material can be better understood. The moisture in the plastic will affect the cracking process. Excessive moisture may cause unstable cracking temperature, increase energy consumption, and may affect the quality and output of the product. By monitoring the moisture content, the feed amount can be adjusted to ensure the stability and efficiency of the cracking process. Waste polyolefin plastics are usually mixed with multiple monomer plastics. Different monomer plastics have different cracking characteristics. Therefore, the feed amount needs to be regulated according to the weight ratio of each monomer plastic. Through multi-dimensional data monitoring, combined with the feed model and parameter control, refined management of the cracking process can be achieved, effectively improving the accuracy of the waste polyolefin plastic cracking and recovery system based on multi-dimensional data monitoring.
[0031] Specifically, the cracking unit includes: The process subunit is connected to the collection unit, the feeding unit and the thermal analysis subunit respectively, and is used to select several cracking process parameters of the same plastic density and the same composition according to the plastic feeding model, and calculate and generate difference values according to the moisture content and the feed amount, and determine the optimal cracking process parameters according to the difference values and thermodynamic parameters; The optimal cracking process parameters are determined through system dynamic matching and calculation, and are the core adjustable variable combination that maximizes the cracking efficiency. The optimal cracking process parameters include: temperature curve and time parameters, reaction pressure setting value, stirring rate and catalyst dosage. The temperature curve and time parameters are dynamically calculated based on thermal analysis parameters. The regulating subunit is connected to the process subunit and is used to regulate the working parameters of the cracking reactor based on the optimal cracking process parameters.
[0032] The process subunit selects several cracking process parameters of the same plastic density and composition according to the plastic feed model, calculates and generates difference values according to the moisture content and feed amount, and determines the optimal cracking process parameters according to the difference values and thermodynamic parameters, including: According to the plastic density difference ≤ ± 0.02g / cm 3 and the component ratio difference is ≤±3% and a plurality of candidate groups of cracking process parameters are obtained by preliminary screening from a historical process parameter library; The difference value δ is calculated according to the following formula. Only numerical values are taken during the calculation. The three groups of historical parameters with the smallest difference value δ are taken, and then weighted average is performed to generate the first cracking process parameters; wherein, the difference value ,in is the current moisture content, unit: % is the historical moisture content, unit: % is the current feed amount, unit Kg; is the historical feed amount, unit Kg; The temperature curve and time parameters dynamically calculated according to the thermodynamic parameters are used to replace the temperature curve and time parameters in the first cracking process parameters to obtain the optimal cracking process parameters.
[0033] The temperature curve and time parameters are dynamically calculated based on thermodynamic parameters, including: Based on the cracking starting temperature Tonset, set the end temperature of the initial heating stage: initial end temperature = Tonset -20°C; The temperature of the main reaction zone is set at the maximum weight loss rate temperature Tmax: main reaction temperature = Tmax ± 10°C; Set the final holding temperature according to the predicted carbon residue rate Char: if the predicted carbon residue rate Char is greater than 8%, the final holding temperature = Tmax + 30°C; otherwise, the final holding temperature = Tmax + 10°C; Based on the difference between the melting temperature Tm and the cracking onset temperature Tonset, the homogenization time of the material is calculated: Homogenization time = (Tonset - Tm) × 0.5, unit: min; Main reaction time T = W × 2.5; where the unit of main reaction time T is min, W is the width of the mass loss interval, and only the numerical value is used during calculation. W is specifically the width of the 90% mass loss interval in the thermogravimetric analysis test procedure.
[0034] Specifically, the present invention guides the current cracking process by detecting the parameters of the original plastic and matching the processing parameters with the same parameters in the processing system based on the parameters. By detecting the parameters of the original plastic and matching the processing technology with the same parameters in the past, the basic cracking process parameter group can be screened out and then combined with the thermodynamic parameters and the difference value calculated according to the moisture content and feed amount to further determine the optimal cracking process parameters, wherein the cracking temperature curve and time parameters are dynamically generated completely by the thermodynamic parameters, avoiding historical experience deviations and solving the defect of the traditional process relying on fixed temperature. Therefore, the temperature and time parameters are completely generated by thermal analysis data and are not affected by historical parameters. Of course, the time parameter can also be generated according to the weighted historical value and thermodynamic parameter. In traditional cracking processing, it is often necessary to adjust parameters multiple times to find the optimal cracking conditions. This method reduces the trial and error process through experience matching and directly adopts verified process parameters, thereby significantly improving the cracking efficiency. The process parameters based on past experience are usually optimized to ensure that the cracking process is carried out under the lowest energy consumption. Accurate process parameters can avoid the equipment from operating under unsuitable conditions, thereby reducing equipment wear and maintenance costs. This method relies on the detection of original plastic parameters and the analysis of past processing data. It is a data-driven decision-making method.

By detecting and matching process parameters, the system can flexibly handle waste plastics of different compositions and states, further improving the accuracy of the waste polyolefin plastic cracking and recovery system based on multi-dimensional data monitoring.
[0035] Specifically, the detection unit includes: The parameter detection subunit is connected to the cracking unit and is used to insert the temperature measuring end of the thermometer into the center of the material to measure the cracking temperature, and to measure the cracking pressure of the gas phase space above the cracking reactor through the pressure sensitive element.
[0036] Specifically, the detection unit also includes: The product detection subunit is connected to the cracking unit and is used to detect the long-chain alkane content and benzene concentration of the cracking gas by gas chromatography, and to measure the viscosity and olefin ratio of the cracking liquid by Brookfield viscometer, and to obtain the carbon deposition rate by sampling and detecting the cracking solids on the inner wall of the cracking reactor.

[0049] Specifically, the present invention improves the timeliness of monitoring the cracking process by adjusting the cracking-related parameters of the cracking reactor. By adjusting the relevant parameters of the cracking reactor, the system can more quickly obtain real-time data from the cracking process. This real-time monitoring capability enables the system to promptly detect anomalies or deviations during the cracking process and make rapid adjustments. Traditional cracking and recovery systems may be unable to promptly capture key changes in the cracking process due to delays in monitoring equipment or slow data processing speeds. The present invention reduces this lag by optimizing parameter adjustment, ensuring that the system can quickly respond to dynamic changes in the cracking process. By optimizing and adjusting the parameters of the cracking reactor, the system can more accurately control the cracking process. Multidimensional data monitoring combined with parameter adjustment can reduce errors and uncertainties caused by changes in equipment, raw materials, or operating conditions. Traditional cracking and recovery systems may have low cracking efficiency due to unreasonable parameter settings. The present invention avoids ineffective operations and improves cracking efficiency through real-time monitoring and parameter adjustment. The composition and state of waste polyolefin plastics may vary greatly. By adjusting the parameters of the cracking reactor, the system can flexibly process different types of plastics, improving the system's versatility and adaptability, and further enhancing the accuracy of the waste polyolefin plastic cracking and recovery system based on multidimensional data monitoring.
