Open the primary electromagnetic heating mechanism 103, the secondary electromagnetic heating mechanism 303, the superheated gas main pipe 9 in the gaseous pyrolysis product catalytic reforming module, and the solid pyrolysis product cooling module to ensure the primary pyrolysis chamber 101 operates at a temperature of 600-700℃, the secondary pyrolysis chamber 301 operates at a temperature of 500-600℃, the upper chamber 401 of the catalytic reforming furnace operates at a temperature of 500-600℃, and the solid pyrolysis product cooling module circulates cooling water. In addition, the primary exhaust pipe 107, primary pyrolysis chamber 101, secondary exhaust pipe 307, secondary pyrolysis chamber 301, intake manifold 2, intake distribution pipe 402, gaseous pyrolysis product catalytic reforming module, superheated gas manifold 9, superheated gas distribution pipe 8, exhaust pipe, exhaust manifold and condenser intake pipe 4010 are all wrapped with heat insulation material to reduce heat loss and save energy.
[0071] (II) Pre-collected and dried waste polypropylene plastic is stored in a silo. The waste polypropylene plastic flows from the storage silo into the feed silo 104. At this time, under a nitrogen atmosphere, the first-stage variable frequency speed control motor 108 drives the first-stage screw 102 to rotate, realizing the conveying of waste polypropylene plastic. The temperature in the first-stage pyrolysis chamber 101 is between 600-700℃. Under the action of high temperature, the chemical bonds of the waste polypropylene plastic break, and the macromolecules become small molecules, generating gaseous products and solid products. The gaseous products enter the main air inlet 2 through the first-stage exhaust pipe 107. The solid products, under the continuous action of the first-stage screw 102, enter the second-stage pyrolysis chamber through the first-stage solid pyrolysis product outlet 106 and the second-stage solid pyrolysis product inlet 305. In the secondary pyrolysis chamber 301 of the pyrolysis module, the secondary electromagnetic heating mechanism 303 has been activated in advance, and the temperature inside the secondary pyrolysis chamber 301 is maintained between 500-600℃. Under the control of the secondary variable frequency speed control motor 309, the secondary spiral 302 continuously conveys the solid products forward. During the conveying process, some of the solid products that were not pyrolyzed in the primary pyrolysis module A continue to undergo pyrolysis. The gaseous products generated by pyrolysis enter the main air inlet pipe 2 through the secondary exhaust pipe 307. After two stages of pyrolysis in the primary and secondary pyrolysis modules, the waste polypropylene plastic has been completely pyrolyzed. The temperature of the secondary pyrolysis module is lower than that of the primary pyrolysis module, which is intended to supplement the pyrolysis and cool down the solid products. Solid products enter the three-stage spiral discharge device in the solid pyrolysis product cooling module through the secondary solid pyrolysis product discharge port 306 and the tertiary solid product inlet 704. The cooling device in the solid pyrolysis product recovery device cools the solid products with cooling water. Under the action of the three-stage variable frequency speed control motor 701, the discharge spiral 703 continuously transports the solid products to the tertiary solid product discharge port.
[0072] The gaseous products after pyrolysis enter the intake manifold 2 through the primary exhaust pipe 107 and the secondary exhaust pipe 307. The intake manifold 2 then diverts the gaseous products to the intake distribution pipe 402. One end of the intake distribution pipe 402 is connected to the intake manifold 2, and the other end is connected to the upper cavity 401 of the catalytic reformer. At this time, the upper cavity 401 of the catalytic reformer is in a working environment of 500-600℃.
[0073] (iv) Start the tilting vibration motor 4011, and spread the pre-prepared granulated catalyst on the catalyst spreading net 4012 through the catalyst discharge port 4013. The catalyst is continuously conveyed forward by vibration from the catalyst discharge port 4013, and the catalyst is continuously replenished until the catalyst covers the entire catalyst spreading net 4012. The catalyst can be spread manually through the rectangular manual operation port 407. After the catalyst is spread, seal the catalyst discharge port 4013 and turn off the tilting vibration motor 4011.
[0074] (V) The gaseous products flowing into the upper chamber 401 of the catalytic reformer through the inlet distribution pipe 402 flow upwards through the catalyst spread on the catalyst spreading mesh 4012. The prepared catalysts a, b, c, and d are tested sequentially to complete the catalytic reforming of the gaseous products. After reforming, oil samples are collected in the condenser, and the catalyst with the highest collection rate is selected for subsequent optimization. The reformed gaseous products enter the primary condenser 404 and secondary condenser 405 through the exhaust pipe 408, exhaust manifold, and condenser inlet pipe 4010 to complete the oil collection. Before the catalytic reforming process, the catalyst is pre-spread, and the catalyst discharge port 4013 and catalyst outlet 4014 are completely sealed. To prevent superheated gas from flowing into the upper chamber 401 of the catalytic reformer, the upper chamber 401 and lower chamber 403 of the catalytic reformer are completely isolated and sealed. Furthermore, the rectangle of the catalyst spreading mesh 4012 is much smaller than the catalyst particle size. The mesh is designed with rectangular holes, which can effectively reduce the degree of clogging.
[0075] After the catalytic reforming of the gaseous product is completed, all equipment is turned off, and then the tilting vibration motor 4011 is started to operate. The used catalyst is discharged from the catalyst outlet 4014 by the tilting vibration of the tilting vibration motor 4011.
