Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a production line system that can realize the degradation of polyethylene on a large scale, and belongs to the technical field of organic chemistry. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyethylene plastic is the most common and widely used synthetic polymer plastic in modern life, and it plays an important role in the fields of agriculture, packaging, construction, automobiles, and even aerospace. However, due to the fact that the molecular chain of polyethylene is composed of extremely stable saturated C-C bonds and C-H bonds, it has relatively inert chemical properties, and therefore it is difficult to degrade without special treatment. As a result, most polyethylene plastic waste is currently buried, discarded, and becomes "white pollution", and a small number is incinerated or physically recycled, while the proportion of chemical recycling is very small.

[0003] In addition, traditional chemical recycling methods usually involve thermal cracking, hydrocracking, or oxidative cracking of polyethylene plastic at high temperatures. These methods require very high energy consumption or the use of environmentally unfriendly chemicals, and the resulting product components are complex and have low utilization value. Therefore, finding a polyethylene degradation technology that is mild in conditions, has good selectivity, produces fewer by-products, has high reaction conversion rate, produces products with high reuse value, is environmentally friendly, and is suitable for large-scale production, has been a technical problem that needs to be solved in the field.

[0004] A research group led by Huang Zheng of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 201410415203.7 a method for degrading polyethylene into liquid fuel or / and polyethylene wax by multiple cross-metathesis reactions between C2-C10 alkanes and polyethylene in the presence of an alkane dehydrogenation catalyst and an olefin metathesis catalyst. Although this patent technology can achieve the mild and controllable degradation and recycling of different types of polyethylene such as HDPE, LLDPE, and LDPE, and the reaction conditions are mild, it can overcome the disadvantages of traditional polyethylene degradation methods such as high reaction temperature, complex products, and low product application value. However, the research group found in subsequent large-scale experiments that the reaction system has a very high viscosity, and if traditional tank reactors are used, there are problems such as non-uniform reaction, low degradation efficiency, and difficulty in separating the catalyst from the material, making it difficult to achieve large-scale application.
