Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for purifying pyrolysis oil, comprising an extraction step prior to a heat treatment step, a production unit for carrying out the method, and a purified pyrolysis oil obtained or available by the method.

[0002] Currently, plastic waste is primarily landfilled or incinerated to generate heat. Chemical recycling is an attractive way to transform waste plastic materials into useful chemicals. A key technology for the chemical recycling of plastic waste is pyrolysis. Pyrolysis involves the thermal degradation of plastic waste in an inert atmosphere, producing value-added byproducts such as pyrolysis gas, liquid pyrolysis oil, and char (residue), with pyrolysis oil being the primary product. Pyrolysis gas and char can be used as fuel to generate heat, for example, for reactor heating purposes. Pyrolysis oil can be used as a source for syngas production and / or processed, for example, in (steam) crackers into chemical feedstocks such as ethylene, propylene, C4 fractions, etc.

[0003] Typically, plastic waste is a mixture of different types of polymers. Polymers are usually composed of carbon and hydrogen combined with other elements such as chlorine, bromine, fluorine, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen, which complicates recycling efforts. Elements other than carbon and hydrogen can be harmful during further processing of crude pyrolysis oil, as they can deactivate or poison catalysts used in this process. During (steam) cracking, halogenated compounds, as well as acids and oxygen-containing compounds, can damage the cracker, for example, through corrosion, as they release hydrogen halides. Sulfur-containing compounds can deactivate or poison catalysts used in the cracker or can contaminate cracker products. Nitrogenous impurities can also poison downstream catalysts. Additionally, when heated, they can pose safety problems by forming explosive NOx. When mixed plastics containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) undergo thermal degradation, compounds with carbon double bonds and hydrogen chloride are formed. The hydrogen chloride released from PVC attacks compounds with carbon-carbon double bonds, leading to the formation of chlorinated organic compounds. Plastic waste typically contains heteroatom-containing additives, such as stabilizers and plasticizers, which are incorporated to improve polymer properties. These additives often also include nitrogen-, halogenated, and sulfur-containing compounds and heavy metals. For example, waste engine oil, transformer oil, hydraulic oil, and machine oil may contain heavy metal abrasives. Heavy metals are generally toxic, and their presence degrades the quality of pyrolysis oil. Furthermore, plastic waste is often uncleaned plastic, potentially containing residues of elements other than carbon and hydrogen. Therefore, high-quality pyrolysis oil rich in carbon and hydrogen but low in other elements is preferred as a feedstock to prevent catalyst deactivation and corrosion problems in downstream refining processes.

[0004] WO 2017 / 083018 A1 discloses a method for reducing the chloride content of a hydrocarbon feed stream. WO 2014 / 165859 A1 discloses a method for purifying pyrolysis oil, which includes one or two extraction steps. Furthermore, WO 2020 / 178597 A1 discloses a method for upgrading pyrolysis oil, which includes treating the pyrolysis oil with an aqueous solution (preferably composed of water) and alkanes, and treating the resulting organic phase with an upgrading solution containing a polar organic solvent.

[0005] However, there remains a need for improved methods for purifying pyrolysis oil obtained from plastic waste. In particular, there is a need for improved methods that exhibit longer run times, lower pressure drops, and avoid scaling. This has not been addressed using existing technologies.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a method to purify pyrolysis oil (preferably pyrolysis oil obtained from waste), particularly by reducing the total acid value and the content of chlorine, oxygen, and nitrogen. In practice, there is a need to provide high-value purified pyrolysis oil while using economical methods.

[0007] Surprisingly, the method of the present invention allows for a reduction in total acid value, as well as chlorine, oxygen, and nitrogen content, with reductions particularly suitable for subsequent storage and / or steam cracking.

In contrast to decanter centrifuges (where solids are continuously separated and removed), in separator centrifuges, solids must be released after the centrifuge has been loaded to its maximum solid content (discontinuous). Centrifugation can be supported by the use of flocculants to improve centrifugal behavior.

[0473] The invention is further illustrated by the following examples. Example

[0474] Reference Example 1: Determination of Total Acid Number (TAN)

[0475] According to ASTM D3242, the total acid value is determined by titration with KOH.

[0476] Reference Example 2: Measurement of N content (wppm)

[0477] Through

[0478] Nitrogen content was determined by burning each sample at 1000°C. The NO in the resulting combustion gases reacted with ozone to form NO2*. Relaxation of excited-state nitrogen species was detected using a chemiluminescence detector according to ASTM D4629 (N). The calibration range was 0.5 wppm to 50 wppm. Samples with higher concentrations were diluted with xylene to bring them within the calibration range.

[0479] Refer to Example 3.1 for the measurement of total chlorine content (wppm).

[0480] Samples were filtered using a 0.45 µm syringe filter prior to analysis. Chlorine content was determined by burning each sample at 1050°C. The resulting combustion gas, hydrogen chloride, was introduced into the coulometric titration cell.

[0481] Refer to Example 3.2 for the measurement of chloride content (wppm).

[0482] Samples were filtered using a 0.45 µm syringe filter prior to analysis. Chloride content was determined by ion chromatography. Apparatus: Ion chromatograph 850 Professional (Metrohm) (pre-column: Metrosep A Supp4 / 5 S-Guard and analytical column: Metrosep A Supp5 250 / 4; flow rate: 0.7 mL / min; column temperature: 30°C; detector temperature: 40°C; injection volume: 25 µL; inhibitor: MSM HC Rotor A). Eluents: 3.2 mmol / L Na₂CO₃; 1.0 mmol / L NaHCO₃; and regenerator: 50 mmol / L sulfuric acid.

[0483] Sample preparation: Weigh 0.2 g–0.4 g of sample and dissolve it in 10 mL of toluene. For analyte extraction, add 10 mL of deionized water. After centrifugation, extract the aqueous phase and analyze it. For samples with concentrations below the method limit, add 20 µg / L chloride standard solution (corresponding to the limit of 1 mg / kg chloride in the sample) to check the recovery.

[0484] Reference Example 4: Measurement of the total amount of one or more organic compounds containing conjugated double bonds

[0485] Diene content is determined using UOP326-17. In this procedure, the diene reacts with maleic anhydride (MA) and the amount of MA consumed is determined (by titrating the remaining MA). It can be expressed as g(I2) / 100 g (sample) or alternatively g(MA) / 100 g (sample). This unit can be converted to each other by multiplying the MA value (MAV) by a factor of 2.59 to obtain a value expressed as g(I2) / 100 g (sample), corresponding to the molar weights of I2 and MA. Therefore, 1 wt% styrene or 0.52 wt.% butadiene corresponds to 0.94 g(MA) / 100 g or 2.43 g(I2) / 100 g.

[0486] Refer to Example 5 for the measurement of oxygen content.

[0487] The oxygen content was determined according to ASTM D5622. The sample was pyrolyzed upon contact with soot in a reducing gas atmosphere, thereby converting oxygen into carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon monoxide was detected and quantified by IR spectroscopy.

[0488] Reference Example 6: Measurement of S content (wppm)

[0489] Sulfur content was determined by burning individual samples at 1000°C. The sulfur dioxide contained in the resulting combustion gases was excited by UV (ultraviolet) light. The light emitted during relaxation was detected using a UV fluorescence detector according to ASTM D5453(S). The calibration range was 0.5 wppm to 50 wppm. Samples with higher concentrations were diluted with xylene to bring them within the calibration range.

[0490] Refer to Example 7 for the determination of styrene content.

[0491] The GC method was used with a nonpolar, 100% dimethylpolysiloxane phase column and an FID detector. The final column temperature and inlet temperature were 330°C and 320°C, respectively. The area percentage (%) is the ratio of the integral area signal of styrene to the ratio of all integral peaks multiplied by 100%. The area percentage is approximately correlated with wt.%.

[0492] Refer to Example 8: Reactor Loading and Testing Apparatus

[0493] All reaction steps in the example (except extraction) were carried out in a reactor with an inner diameter of 10 mm and operated in trickle bed mode (downflow). The reactor (80 cm long) was loaded with corundum (WSK F46; commercial corundum) from the bottom, such that the lower 25 cm was filled with inert corundum (cooling zone). Above this, a 30 cm long adsorbent bed was placed from 25 to 55 cm, and the reaction temperature was maintained in this zone. In the absence of a catalyst or adsorbent, this zone was filled only with corundum (WSK F46; commercial corundum). Corundum (WSK F46; commercial corundum) was filled from 55 to 80 cm above the catalyst and adsorbent bed, respectively. In this corundum zone, the feed was preheated to the reaction temperature, while in the lower corundum-filled zone, the product stream was cooled from the reactor temperature to the tracing temperature.

Specifically, F0 (5 L of pyrolysis oil) was introduced into a stirred 12 L steel vessel and mixed with 1.5 L of demineralized water. Next, while stirring, the feed stream F0 containing 0.3 M NaOH solution (3.5 L of 0.3 M NaOH solution) was introduced... N The solution was pumped into the mixing unit (12 L steel container) for a period of 50 minutes. Once 3.5 L of NaOH solution (F) was added... N The resulting mixture was stirred for another 30 minutes. Mixing was then stopped, allowing the two-phase mixture to settle overnight in the mixing apparatus. The pH of the aqueous mixture was measured and found to be approximately 8. The entire procedure (i.e., mixing and settling) was carried out at 40°C to dissolve the contained wax. The oil phase was then mixed with the aqueous phase (F... W The process involves separating the aqueous phase from the mixing / sedimentation unit for wastewater treatment and removing the oil phase (stream F1) from the mixing / sedimentation unit for subsequent dechlorination. Compared to F0, the resulting oil phase (stream F1) contains pyrolysis oil with a reduced total acid number (TAN) of approximately 4 mg (KOH) / g (feed), while the N, O, and Cl contents remain largely unchanged.

[0496] Stream F1 was then subjected to dechlorination in a reactor containing a Cl adsorbent (hydroxyaluminum magnesium carbonate powder with a weight ratio of hydrotalcite:MgO:Al2O3 of 70:30) at 350°C and 50 bar in the presence of H2. Prior to use, the adsorbent was compacted, then crushed and sieved to an average particle size of 500–1000 micrometers. It was also calcined in air at 450°C for 5 h and equilibrated overnight in ambient air. Before introducing F1 into the reactor, the obtained Cl adsorbent was dried separately at 100°C and 200°C at ambient pressure in nitrogen at 2000 h / h with a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 2000 / h, while simultaneously increasing the temperature at a ramp rate of 1 K / min. At 200°C, the gas was switched from N2 to H2, and the pressure was increased to 50 bar over 1 hour. After reaching this pressure, the GHSV was reduced to 475 / h, and the reactor was heated to 350°C at 1 K / min. Once 350°C was reached, S1 was introduced into the reactor at a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of 0.95 / h. The resulting product stream was analyzed as shown in Table 2.1 and showed a reduced total chlorine content (approximately 90% reduction at the start of operation).

[0497] Table 1. Chlorine and chloride content of F1 and dechlorination product streams at different operating times (TOS).

[0498]

[0499] The intermediate products (F2) from the reaction process were combined to form feed F2. The resulting feed stream F2 had an average total chlorine content of 260 wppm and a chloride content of 1 wppm. Compared with F1, the N and O contents remained unchanged.

[0500] Comparative Example 1: A method for purifying pyrolysis oil not according to the present invention

[0501] Unlike Example 1, this method begins with a dechlorination step without extraction. A feed stream F0 containing pyrolysis oil (such as in Example 1) (i.e., having a total acid number (TAN) of approximately 20 mg (KOH) / g (feed), a total chlorine content of 560 wppm, a chloride content of 1 wppm, a nitrogen content of approximately 3260 wppm, an oxygen content of approximately 0.82 g (O) / 100 g (feed), and a density of 0.8653 g / ml) is subjected to dechlorination in a reactor containing a Cl adsorbent (hydrotalcite:MgO:Al2O3 powder in a weight ratio of 70:30, consisting of magnesium aluminum hydroxycarbonate) at 350°C and 50 bar in the presence of H2. Prior to use, the adsorbent is compacted, then crushed and sieved to an average particle size of 500–1000 micrometers. Furthermore, it is calcined in air at 450°C for 5 h and equilibrated overnight in ambient air. Before introducing FO into the reactor, the obtained Cl adsorbent was dried in nitrogen at ambient pressure for 1 hour at 100°C and 200°C with a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 2000 / h, while the temperature was increased at a ramp rate of 1 K / min. At 200°C, the gas was switched from N2 to H2 and the pressure was increased to 50 bar over 1 hour. After reaching this pressure, the GHSV was reduced to 475 / h and the reactor was heated to 350°C at 1 K / min. Once 350°C was reached, FO was introduced into the reactor with a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of 0.95 / h.

[0502] After 12.5 h TOS, the pressure drop in the reactor system increased by more than 10 bar, necessitating the cessation of feed feeding and the cooling, purging with toluene, and drying with nitrogen. The reactor pressure drop, measured externally at 100 mln (N2) / min at ambient outlet pressure, was 535 mbar, compared to 28 mbar measured before the test. The testing period was too short, causing the test setup to shut down due to excessive pressure before the first scheduled sampling 30 h later.

[0503] Table 2 Comparative pressure drop after dechlorination alone or after extraction + dechlorination / TAN

[0504]

[0505] Reference Example 9: Extraction - according to step (ii) of the invention

[0506] A feed stream F0 containing pyrolysis oil with a total acid number (TAN) of approximately 8.5 mg KOH / g, a total chlorine content of 24 wppm, a chloride content of < 5 wppm, a nitrogen content of 0.5 wt.-% (based on weight of the pyrolysis oil) and an oxygen content of 1 wt.-% (based on weight of the pyrolysis oil), a density of 916 kg / m³, and a viscosity of 6.4 mPas was subjected to extraction with KOH at T = 50°C and pH 7. For this purpose, F0 was introduced into a 1.3 L stirred glass vessel. Demineralized water was then added to the vessel (relative to v(water / pyrolysis oil) = 0.5 kg / kg) to form a mixture. The pH of the aqueous phase of the mixture was adjusted to 7.2 with 25 wt.-% KOH. The resulting mixture was mixed for 15 min. After settling (lasting 2 min), the resulting aqueous phase was separated from the organic phase. The organic phase was analyzed.

[0507] Next, a washing step was performed. Demineralized water was added to the organic phase at a ratio v(demineralized water / organic phase) = 0.5 kg / kg to remove salt and caustic alkali entrainments from the pyrolysis oil. The results are listed in Table 5 below.

[0508] Table 3

[0509]

[0510] pH of the aqueous phase

[0511] **The pH of the aqueous phase of F0 after washing F0 with demineralized water only.

[0512] As can be seen from Table 3, the contents of TAN, O, and N can be reduced at pH 7 and in the presence of KOH. Therefore, this type of extraction (conditions, etc.) can also be used prior to dechlorination as in Example 1. In practice, this will allow for the avoidance of scaling in the production unit, increase of TOS, and reduction of pressure drop, as demonstrated by the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.

[0513] Example 2: Testing of the extracted pyrolysis oil obtained according to step (ii)

[0514] In this example, the extracted pyrolysis oil obtained according to (ii) of the invention (i.e., by extraction as described in Example 1) is subjected to heat treatment only and compared with the unextracted pyrolysis oil.

[0515] A feed stream F1 (extracted pyrolysis oil) with approximately 4 mg (KOH) / g (feed), approximately 3260 wppm nitrogen content, approximately 0.82 g (O) / 100 g (feed) oxygen content, 9.01 g (I2) / 100 g MAV, 6.1 area % styrene content as determined by GC, 560 wppm total chlorine content, 1 wppm chloride content, and 0.8653 g / ml density was obtained. This was then compared with a feed stream F1 (extracted pyrolysis oil) with approximately 20 mg (KOH) / g (feed), approximately 3260 wppm nitrogen content, approximately 0.82 g (O) / 100 g (feed) oxygen content, 9.01 g (I2) / 100 g MAV, 6.1 area % styrene content as determined by GC, 560 wppm total chlorine content, 1 wppm chloride content, and 0.8653 g / ml density. The density of the feed stream F11 (unextracted pyrolysis oil) was compared with that of g / ml.

[0516] F1 and F11 were subjected to different heat treatments. The feed was added at a rate of 20 ml / h to a reactor filled with inert material (such as corundum as shown in Reference Example 8), corresponding to an LHSV of 0.85 / h if the inert volume in the reaction zone is considered the reaction volume. Pressure and temperature were varied equally in both experiments, and samples were collected near the end of each condition. The degree of polymerization of styrene was determined under different conditions, and each sample was compared. The degree of polymerization was calculated from the area % value of the feed and the samples collected during the experiment. The total loss of styrene is equal to 100% of the degree of polymerization of styrene.

[0520] Table 5

[0521] Unextracted feed (F11)

[0522]

[0523] Therefore, this example demonstrates that extraction prior to subsequent heat treatment not only allows for a reduction in the total acid number (TAN) of the obtained pyrolysis oil but also significantly reduces solid formation, particularly due to styrene polymerization—a reduction that is evident as can be seen from Tables 4 and 5 above. This allows for better subsequent purification of the pyrolysis oil and / or subsequent heating steps (lower pressure drop, longer expected TOS). Without wishing to be bound by any theory, this example shows that extraction of the pyrolysis oil prior to subsequent heat treatment according to the method of the invention prevents further polymerization of styrene monomers contained in the pyrolysis oil and thus reduces the amount of impurities in the pyrolysis oil that hinder further purification.

[0524] Reference Example 10: Particle Size (D50)

[0525] D50 particle size is determined by optical methods or by air sieves, for example by various instruments, namely the Cilas Particle Size Analyzer 1064 supplied by Quantachrome, the Malvern Mastersizer, or the Luftstrahlsieb (air sieve) supplied by Alpine.

[0528] Reference Example 12: Determination of BET Specific Surface Area

[0529] The BET surface area of ​​the adsorbent material was measured using instruments supplied by either Konta (Nova series) or Micromeritics (Gemini series). This method requires low-temperature adsorption of nitrogen in the BET region of the adsorption isotherm.

[0530] Comparative Example 2: A method for purifying pyrolysis oil not according to the present invention

[0531] A feed stream F0 containing pyrolysis oil with a total acid number (TAN) of 7 mg KOH / g was subjected to a first washing step with demineralized water in a 250 ml glass bottle, wherein the ratio v(demineralized water / pyrolysis oil (F0)) = 1 kg / kg. The mixture was shaken. The pH of the aqueous phase of the mixture was pH 4.3. The resulting mixture of water / organic phase (oil) was introduced into a centrifuge. Thus, the aqueous phase and the organic (oil) phase were separated.

[0532] After separating the aqueous and organic phases, demineralized water was further added to the organic phase for a second washing step. Demineralized water was added at a ratio v(demineralized water / organic phase) = 1 kg / kg. The resulting water / organic phase (oil) mixture was introduced into a centrifuge. The aqueous and organic phases were separated. Finally, a third washing step was performed, and the aqueous and organic phases were separated by centrifugation. The washed organic phase was analyzed. The results are listed in Table 3 below.

[0533] Table 6

[0534]

[0535] pH of the aqueous phase

[0536] **The pH of the aqueous phase of F0 after washing F0 with demineralized water only.

[0537] As can be seen from Table 6, the washing step is insufficient to reduce the TAN value.

[0538] Reference Example 13: Testing for Different Bases

[0539] In this example, the pyrolysis oils (each having a total acid number (TAN) of approximately 8.5 mg KOH / g, a total chlorine content of 24 wppm, a chloride content of < 5 wppm, a nitrogen content of 0.5 wt.% based on the weight of the pyrolysis oil, an oxygen content of 1 wt.% based on the weight of the pyrolysis oil, a density of 916 kg / m³, and a viscosity of 6.4 mPas) were extracted in centrifuge glasses with NaOH or KOH under the conditions detailed in Table 9. Phase separation of these oils was observed after extraction (see Table 9).

[0540] Table 9

[0541]

[0542] As can be seen from Table 9, extraction of pyrolysis oil using NaOH at a pH of approximately 10 results in the formation of solids, making phase separation invisible in the gravitational field between the aqueous and oil phases. Further centrifugation is required to separate the solids, aqueous phase, and oil phase after extraction. When the pH decreases during extraction, less solids are formed, and phase separation between the aqueous and oil phases is clearly visible—making separation of the aqueous and oil phases easier after extraction. Furthermore, when using KOH to extract pyrolysis oil at a pH of approximately 10, less solids are formed. Without being bound by any theory, extraction of pyrolysis oil using NaOH may lead to the formation of sodium soaps (sodium salts of fatty acids), which are mostly solids and thus hinder phase separation of the aqueous and oil phases after extraction. In contrast, potassium soaps (potassium salts of fatty acids) are mostly liquids and therefore do not hinder phase separation of the aqueous and oil phases after extraction. Therefore, KOH can be chosen over NaOH to avoid these disadvantages. References
