Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plastic waste resource utilization technology, specifically relating to a method for recycling plastic waste and an efficient recycling method for preparing modified asphalt materials and functionalized carbon nanostructures. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of plastic products in daily life and industrial production, the amount of plastic waste has increased dramatically. Because of the stable physical and chemical structure of plastics, they do not decompose in the natural environment for decades or even centuries, causing long-term environmental pollution. This not only threatens the survival of marine life but also seriously impacts food safety, human health, and coastal tourism, making it one of the top ten global environmental challenges.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for handling plastic waste include landfill, incineration, and recycling. Landfill disposal consumes a large amount of land resources, and non-biodegradable plastics will remain in the environment for a long time; while incineration can reduce the volume of waste, it may produce toxic gases and harmful substances such as dioxins, causing secondary pollution. Therefore, developing economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly plastic waste recycling technologies is of great significance.

[0004] In existing technologies, the main methods for recycling plastic waste include physical recycling and chemical recycling. Physical recycling primarily involves directly reusing waste plastics after sorting, washing, and crushing. However, this method often leads to a decline in material properties and limits its application range. Chemical recycling, on the other hand, transforms waste plastics into chemical raw materials or fuels through chemical reactions, resulting in higher added value.

[0005] In the field of chemical recycling, Xi'an Jiaotong University's patent CN116814086B discloses a method for recycling plastic waste. The technical solution includes: sorting the plastic waste to be recycled to obtain heavy plastics and light plastics; subjecting the heavy plastics to catalytic amine cracking to obtain heavy plastic-derived additives; melting and mixing virgin asphalt, recycled asphalt, asphalt regeneration agent, and the heavy plastic-derived additives in a preset ratio to obtain heavy plastic-derived modified recycled asphalt; and catalytically pyrolyzing the light plastics to prepare carbon nanotubes and hydrogen-rich gas. While this method achieves the classified treatment and high-value utilization of plastic waste, it still has the following shortcomings:

[0006] 1. Density sorting (with 1.3 g / cm³ and 1.15 g / cm³ as the boundary) is not effective for sorting plastics with similar densities but different properties, and the operation is complicated and energy-intensive.

[0007] 2. Heavy plastics use catalytic amine cracking technology, which requires the use of a large amount of amine compounds (such as triethylenediamine or ethylenediamine). These substances are somewhat toxic and may produce harmful gas emissions under high-temperature reaction conditions.

[0008] 3. Lightweight plastics are prepared into carbon nanotubes using traditional catalytic pyrolysis technology, which is energy-intensive, has a long reaction time, and produces only a single type of product, resulting in limited added value.

[0009] 4. The catalytic system is mainly based on Fe / γ-Al2O3 and Ni-Al2O3. The catalytic activity and selectivity need to be improved, and the system has strict requirements for reaction conditions and poor adaptability.

[0010] Patent CN112408364B from Qingdao University of Science and Technology discloses a method for preparing carbon nanotubes by catalytic pyrolysis of waste thermosetting plastics. This method is for preparing carbon nanotubes by catalytic pyrolysis of thermosetting plastics, but it is only applicable to specific types of plastics and does not consider the comprehensive utilization of all components of plastics. Therefore, it cannot achieve efficient sorting of plastic waste and high-value utilization of all components.

[0011] In addition, existing plastic waste recycling methods are often energy-intensive, inefficient, and environmentally unfriendly. They lack precise sorting and targeted treatment of plastic waste, making it difficult to achieve efficient recycling and high-value utilization of plastic waste.

[0012] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-energy-consumption method for recycling plastic waste, to achieve refined sorting and high-value utilization of all components of plastic waste, in order to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Summary of the Invention

[0031] 6. This invention realizes the high-value utilization of all components of plastic waste, and simultaneously obtains high-performance asphalt materials, functionalized carbon nanostructures and liquid fuels, constructing a complete industrial chain for the high-value utilization of plastic waste, realizing the tiered utilization and zero-emission treatment of plastic waste, and has significant economic and environmental benefits. Detailed Implementation

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0033] This invention provides a method for recycling plastic waste. This method achieves refined sorting and high-value utilization of all components of plastic waste through an innovative combination of technologies such as electrostatic sorting, photocatalytic oxidation, and microwave catalytic conversion.

[0034] In this invention, the recycled plastic waste is first washed, dried, and crushed. Then, electrostatic sorting technology is used to separate the plastics into high-dielectric-constant plastics and low-dielectric-constant plastics. Electrostatic sorting is a method based on the dielectric and surface charge characteristics of different plastics. Its principle is that different plastics generate electrostatic charges of different polarities and intensities after being triboelectrically charged, exhibiting different trajectories under the influence of an electric field, thus achieving sorting. In this invention, high-dielectric-constant plastics (dielectric constant > 3.5) mainly include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC); low-dielectric-constant plastics (dielectric constant < 2.5) mainly include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS). Compared to traditional density-based sorting methods, electrostatic sorting technology can more accurately separate different types of plastics, especially for plastics with similar densities but different properties, resulting in better sorting effects. It is also simple to operate, has low energy consumption, and improves sorting efficiency by more than 30%.

[0035] For the high dielectric constant plastics obtained through sorting, this invention employs photocatalytic oxidation technology for surface modification. Specifically, the high dielectric constant plastics are mixed with a titanium metal-organic framework (Ti-MOF) photocatalyst, and irradiated with ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 365-405 nm in an oxygen atmosphere to achieve controlled oxidation of the plastic surface. Ti-MOF is a novel photocatalytic material with a large specific surface area and abundant photoactive sites. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, it can generate electron-hole pairs, thereby generating active oxygen species (such as ·OH, ·O2-, H2O2, etc.). These active oxygen species can selectively oxidize the plastic surface under mild conditions (60-90℃), introducing oxygen-containing functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, thus achieving functional modification of the plastic surface. Compared with traditional thermochemical methods, photocatalytic oxidation technology has low energy consumption, mild reaction conditions, and is environmentally friendly. It can also precisely control the degree of oxidation on the plastic surface, avoiding deep degradation of the plastic and maintaining its mechanical properties.

[0036] This invention combines surface-oxidized high-dielectric-constant plastics with asphalt to prepare photo-oxidized modified plastic / asphalt composite materials. Specifically, new asphalt and recycled asphalt are mixed in a certain mass ratio, a bio-based asphalt regenerator is added, followed by the surface-oxidized high-dielectric-constant plastic. The mixture is then melt-mixed and stirred to obtain the photo-oxidized modified plastic / asphalt composite material. The bio-based asphalt regenerator used in this invention is mainly a mixture of rosin, turpentine, and natural resin acid derivatives, replacing traditional petroleum-based asphalt regenerators, reducing dependence on petroleum resources and conforming to green chemistry principles. The surface-oxidized high-dielectric-constant plastic contains a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups, which can form hydrogen bonds and dipole interactions with the polar components in asphalt, significantly improving the compatibility and interfacial bonding strength between the plastic and asphalt. This solves the problems of poor compatibility and severe segregation inherent in traditional plastic-modified asphalt, thereby improving the high-temperature performance, anti-aging properties, and storage stability of the modified asphalt.

[0037] For low-dielectric-constant plastics obtained through sorting, this invention employs microwave catalytic conversion technology to prepare carbon nanostructures and liquid fuels. Specifically, the low-dielectric-constant plastics are mixed with a microwave-absorbing catalyst, MnFe₂O₄ / ZSM-5 (manganese ferrite / ZSM-5 molecular sieve), and the catalytic conversion is carried out in a microwave device. MnFe₂O₄ possesses excellent microwave absorption performance, enabling rapid conversion of microwave energy into heat energy, thus achieving rapid heating of the plastics. ZSM-5 molecular sieve has abundant acidic sites and a unique pore structure, which can promote the breakage and rearrangement of plastic macromolecules, improving the selectivity and yield of carbon nanostructures. During the microwave catalytic conversion process, the plastic macromolecules first decompose into small-molecule hydrocarbons at high temperatures, and then rearrange and dehydrogenate under the action of the catalyst to form carbon nanostructures. Compared with traditional thermocatalytic methods, microwave catalytic conversion features selective heating, rapid temperature rise, and high energy efficiency, reducing reaction time by 60%, energy consumption by 40%, and product selectivity.

[0038] Finally, this invention functionalizes the prepared carbon nanostructures to enhance their added value and application prospects. Specifically, the carbon nanostructures are mixed with a nitrogen source (urea or ammonia) and a phosphorus source (phosphoric acid or hypophosphoric acid), and then heat-treated at 400-500℃ to achieve co-doping of nitrogen and phosphorus. The introduction of nitrogen and phosphorus significantly alters the electronic structure and surface properties of the carbon nanostructures, improving their electrochemical activity, catalytic activity, and adsorption performance. Nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped functionalized carbon nanostructures can be applied in multiple fields such as energy storage devices (e.g., supercapacitors, lithium batteries), catalyst supports, and environmental remediation (e.g., pollutant adsorption, catalytic degradation), increasing added value by over 200%.

[0039] Through the combination of the above-mentioned innovative technologies, this invention realizes the high-value utilization of all components of plastic waste, while obtaining high-performance asphalt materials, functionalized carbon nanostructures and liquid fuels, constructing a complete industrial chain for the high-value utilization of plastic waste, realizing the tiered utilization and zero-emission treatment of plastic waste, and having significant economic and environmental benefits.
