[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a method of pyrolyzing waste materials to obtain pyrolysates such as carbonized materials and oils, and then reusing the pyrolysates (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-237764 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In conventional technology, waste is placed in a heated pressure vessel for thermal decomposition, but in order to increase processing efficiency, it is necessary to cut and crush the waste before placing it in the heated pressure vessel. The cutting and crushing process is time-consuming for large tires, unvulcanized rubber parts, etc., and there was room for improvement.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE In consideration of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for pyrolyzing waste and a method for pyrolyzing waste, which can simplify the decomposition process of waste containing inorganic materials. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The waste pyrolysis apparatus described in claim 1 comprises a heating pressure vessel capable of storing waste containing inorganic materials in a sealed state, a heating device for heating the waste containing inorganic materials, a gas supply device for supplying gas to the heating pressure vessel to increase the pressure inside the heating pressure vessel, a liquid component recovery device connected to the heating pressure vessel via a first opening / closing valve and recovering condensed liquid components by cooling the pyrolysis gas generated in the heating pressure vessel, an exhaust section connected to the liquid component recovery device, having a second opening / closing valve, and exhausting the pyrolysis gas after the liquid components have been recovered in the liquid component recovery device to the outside of the liquid component recovery device, and a control device for controlling the operation of the heating device, the gas supply device, the first opening / closing valve, and the second opening / closing valve.

[0007] In the waste pyrolysis apparatus according to claim 1, the heating and pressure vessel can accommodate waste containing inorganic materials in a sealed state.

[0008] The heating device is capable of heating waste material containing inorganic materials contained in a heated pressure vessel.

[0009] The gas supply device can supply gas to the heating pressure vessel to increase the pressure within the heating pressure vessel.

[0010] In the waste pyrolysis device according to claim 1, waste can be pyrolyzed, for example, as follows. The heating pressure vessel is sealed and filled with gas to heat the waste containing inorganic materials. The heating temperature is set to a temperature equal to or higher than the temperature at which liquid components are released from the waste under atmospheric pressure, and the pressure is set to a pressure at which the liquid components do not volatilize under heating.

[0011] This allows the liquid component to be trapped inside the material other than the inorganic material, and the material other than the inorganic material to be degraded by heating and made brittle.

[0012] After achieving this state, the pressure in the heating pressure vessel is suddenly reduced, causing the liquid components in the materials other than the inorganic materials to rapidly volatilize, and the brittle materials other than the inorganic materials are crushed by the volatilization expansion force, allowing the inorganic materials to be efficiently separated from the materials other than the inorganic materials.

[0013] The liquid component recovery device can recover the condensed liquid component by cooling the pyrolysis gas generated in the heating pressure vessel.

[0014] Here, to send the pyrolysis gas generated in the heating pressure vessel to the liquid component recovery device, gas is supplied from the gas supply device to the heating pressure vessel and the first opening and closing valve is opened, so that the pyrolysis gas in the heating pressure vessel is pushed to the liquid component recovery device by the gas supplied from the gas supply device. This makes it possible to send the pyrolysis gas generated in the heating pressure vessel to the liquid component recovery device without using a pump or the like. Note that when gas is supplied to the heating pressure vessel to increase the pressure inside the heating pressure vessel, the first opening and closing valve is closed.

[0015] The exhaust section can exhaust the pyrolysis gas after the liquid components have been recovered by the liquid component recovery device to the outside of the liquid component recovery device.

[0016] Here, to send pyrolysis gas from the liquid component recovery device to the exhaust section, gas is supplied from the gas supply device to the heated pressure vessel and the first opening / closing valve and the second opening / closing valve are opened, so that the pyrolysis gas after the liquid components in the liquid component recovery device have been recovered can be exhausted to the outside of the liquid component recovery device using the gas supplied from the gas supply device. Examples of the liquid component include oil and water, but the liquid component may be a liquid other than oil and water.

[0017] The invention described in claim 2 is the waste pyrolysis apparatus described in claim 1, wherein the heating pressure vessel is provided with a pressure sensor for detecting the internal pressure and a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature inside the heating pressure vessel, and the control device controls the operation of the heating device, the gas supply device, the first opening / closing valve, and the second opening / closing valve based on pressure detection data from the pressure sensor and temperature detection data from the temperature sensor.

[0018] In the waste pyrolysis device according to claim 2, the pressure inside the heating pressure vessel can be detected by the pressure sensor, and the temperature inside the heating pressure vessel can be detected by the temperature sensor.

[0019] The control device can control the operation of the heating device, the gas supply device, the first opening / closing valve, and the second opening / closing valve based on pressure detection data from the pressure sensor and temperature detection data from the temperature sensor, making it possible to treat waste containing inorganic materials at optimal temperature and pressure for pyrolyzing the waste containing inorganic materials.

[0020] The invention described in claim 3 is the waste pyrolysis apparatus described in claim 1 or 2, wherein the waste containing inorganic materials is a tire containing rubber and a steel cord.

[0021] The waste pyrolysis device according to claim 3 can pyrolyze tires, which are waste containing inorganic materials, and separate the tires into rubber and steel cords.

[0022] The method for pyrolysis of waste described in claim 4 comprises a heating and pressurizing treatment step of heating and pressurizing waste containing inorganic materials and treating the waste under pressure, and a separation step of reducing the pressure after the heating and pressurizing treatment step to volatilize liquid components contained in the waste and pulverize the waste, while separating the inorganic materials from materials other than the inorganic materials.

[0023] In the method for pyrolysis of waste according to claim 4, waste containing inorganic materials is treated under heat and pressure in the heating and pressurizing treatment step.

[0024] In the separation process, the pressure is reduced after the heating and pressurizing treatment process, and the waste is pulverized by the volatilization and expansion force generated when the liquid components contained in the waste evaporate and expand, and the waste containing inorganic materials is separated into inorganic materials and non-inorganic materials.

[0025] The invention described in claim 5 is a method for pyrolysis of waste described in claim 4, wherein in the heating and pressurizing treatment step, the temperature at which the waste containing inorganic materials is heated is set to a temperature equal to or higher than the temperature at which liquid components are separated from the waste under atmospheric pressure, and the pressure at which the waste containing inorganic materials is pressurized in the heating and pressurizing treatment step is set to a pressure that does not volatilize the liquid components under the heating.

[0026] In the waste pyrolysis method described in claim 5, in the heating and pressurizing treatment step, the temperature at which the waste containing inorganic materials is heated is set to a temperature equal to or higher than the temperature at which liquid components are released from the waste under atmospheric pressure, and in the heating and pressurizing treatment step, the pressure at which the waste containing inorganic materials is pressurized is set to a pressure that does not volatilize the liquid components when heated.

[0027] Therefore, before the separation step, the liquid component can be trapped inside the material other than the inorganic material, and the material other than the inorganic material can be heated and deteriorated to make it brittle.

[0028] In the waste containing inorganic materials in this state, the liquid components in the materials other than the inorganic materials rapidly evaporate during the separation process, and the brittle materials other than the inorganic materials are pulverized by the volatilization expansion force, allowing the inorganic materials and the materials other than the inorganic materials to be efficiently separated during the separation process.

[0029] The invention described in claim 6 is the method for pyrolysis of waste described in claim 5, wherein the temperature when heating the waste is set within the range of 350°C or more and 500°C or less, and the pressure when pressurizing the waste is set within the range of 0.15 MPa or more and 2.0 MPa or less.

[0030] By setting the temperature when heating waste containing inorganic materials within the range of 350°C or higher and 500°C or lower, and setting the pressure when pressurizing within the range of 0.15 MPa or higher and 2.0 MPa or lower, it is possible to thermally deteriorate materials other than inorganic materials during the heating and pressurizing treatment process, and to trap liquid components contained in the materials other than inorganic materials within the materials other than inorganic materials.

[0031] The invention described in claim 7 is a method for pyrolyzing waste described in any one of claims 4 to 6, further comprising a step of crushing lumps of material that do not contain inorganic materials after the separation step.

[0032] In the waste pyrolysis method described in claim 7, a process of crushing lumps of material that do not contain inorganic materials is provided after the separation process, so that materials other than inorganic materials that are free of lumps can be obtained.

[0033] The invention described in claim 8 is the method for pyrolysis of waste described in any one of claims 4 to 7, wherein the waste containing inorganic materials is a tire containing rubber and a steel cord.

[0034] In the method for pyrolysis of waste material described in claim 8, tires can be pyrolyzed to separate rubber from steel cords. Effect of the Invention

[0035] As described above, according to the waste pyrolysis apparatus and waste pyrolysis method of the present invention, the decomposition work of waste containing inorganic materials can be simplified. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0036] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a piping diagram showing a configuration of a pyrolysis device according to one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0037] A pyrolysis apparatus 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in Fig. 1, the pyrolysis device 10 is equipped with a heating pressure vessel 14 capable of housing, in a sealed state, tires 12 as an example of waste containing inorganic materials. The heating pressure vessel 14 is equipped with a vessel body 14A capable of housing a plurality of undecomposed tires 12, and an openable and closable lid 14B that closes the opening of the vessel body 14A. The vessel body 14A is equipped with a heater 16 as an example of a heating device that heats the housed tires 12. The heating pressure vessel 14 is equipped with a pressure sensor 18 that detects the pressure inside the vessel, and a temperature sensor 20 that detects the temperature inside the vessel.

[0038] Here, tires 12 are given as an example of waste containing inorganic materials, but waste containing inorganic materials is composed of inorganic materials and materials other than inorganic materials, for example polymer compounds. The polymer compound can be rephrased as a polymer-based compound. One example of the polymer compound is an organic material containing carbon. An example of an inorganic material is a metal material such as steel.

[0039] A pipe 23 is connected to the vessel body 14A of the heating pressure vessel 14 for introducing gas from a gas supply device 22 into the heating pressure vessel 14. The gas supply device 22 includes a gas tank 24, a pressure adjustment valve 26, an opening / closing valve 28, etc. In this embodiment, the gas tank 24 is filled with nitrogen gas at high pressure (>atmospheric pressure).

[0040] The heating pressure vessel 14 is connected to a vacuum vessel 36 via a pipe 30, a first cyclone 32, and a pipe 34. An opening and closing valve 38 is provided in the middle of the pipe 30.

[0041] When the oil-containing pyrolysis gas discharged from the heating pressure vessel 14 is introduced into the first cyclone 32, the oil is separated and removed from the pyrolysis gas. The pyrolysis gas that has passed through the first cyclone 32 is sent to a vacuum vessel 36 via a pipe 34, and the oil separated in the first cyclone 32 is sent to an oil recovery vessel 44 via a pipe 42. An opening / closing valve 40 is provided midway through the pipe 34, and an opening / closing valve 46 is provided midway through the pipe 42. The on-off valve 38 and the on-off valve 40 are an example of the first on-off valve of the present invention.

[0042] The vacuum vessel 36 is provided with a cooling device 48, which is capable of cooling the pyrolysis gas introduced into the vacuum vessel 36. The vacuum vessel 36 and the cooling device 48 are an example of the liquid component recovery device of the present invention. A pipe 50 is connected to the bottom of the vacuum vessel 36 for discharging oil condensed in the vessel to an oil recovery vessel 44. An opening and closing valve 52 is provided midway along the pipe 50.

[0043] The vacuum vessel 36 is connected to a vacuum pump 56 via a pipe 54, and to a second cyclone 60 via a pipe 58. An opening / closing valve 62 is provided midway through the pipe 54, and an opening / closing valve 64 is provided midway through the pipe 58.

[0044] The second cyclone 60 separates the oil contained in the pyrolysis gas discharged from the vacuum vessel 36, and the pyrolysis gas from which the oil has been removed is sent to an incinerator 68 via a pipe 66, and the oil is sent to the oil recovery vessel 44 via a pipe 70. A drain cock 44A is attached to the bottom of the oil recovery vessel 44, and the oil accumulated in the oil recovery vessel 44 can be discharged by opening the drain cock 44A.

[0045] The incinerator 68 is provided with an ignition burner 72 as an ignition device, and is capable of burning flammable gas inside the incinerator 68. Exhaust gas generated by the combustion of the flammable gas can be discharged into the atmosphere. The piping 58, the second cyclone 60, the on-off valve 64, the piping 66, and the incinerator 68 are an example of the exhaust section of the present invention. The on-off valve 64 is an example of the second on-off valve of the present invention.

[0046] The pyrolysis apparatus 10 is equipped with a control device 74 capable of controlling various parts of the apparatus, such as a heating heater 16, a pressure regulating valve 26, an on-off valve 28, an on-off valve 38, an on-off valve 40, an on-off valve 46, a cooling device 48, an on-off valve 52, a vacuum pump 56, an on-off valve 62, an on-off valve 64, an ignition burner 72, etc.

[0047] In addition, a pressure sensor 18 and a temperature sensor 20 are connected to the control device 74, and the control device 74 can control each part of the above-mentioned device based on pressure measurement data from the pressure sensor 18, temperature measurement data from the temperature sensor 20, and a preset control flow.

[0048] (Tire pyrolysis) Next, an example of a procedure for pyrolysis treatment of the tire 12 using the pyrolysis device 10 of this embodiment will be described.

[0049] (1) Tire loading process The lid 14B of the heating and pressure vessel 14 is opened, and the tire 12 is placed into the vessel. The tire 12 may be placed in an uncut state in the vessel, but the tire 12 may be cut into 2 or 3 pieces and then placed in the vessel as necessary. The tire 12 to be subjected to the pyrolysis treatment is a tire that includes at least rubber and steel, and the type of tire is not important. Examples of the steel used in the tire 12 include a bead core, a steel belt, etc.

[0050] (2) Nitrogen gas filling process The lid 14B of the heating pressure vessel 14 is closed to seal the inside, and the on-off valves 38, 40, and 64 are opened while nitrogen gas is supplied from the gas supply device 22 to replace the air in the heating pressure vessel 14 with nitrogen gas. The air in the heating pressure vessel 14 is pushed out by the supplied nitrogen gas, and the air is released into the atmosphere via the piping 30, the first cyclone 32, the piping 34, the vacuum vessel 36, the piping 58, the second cyclone 60, the piping 66, and the incinerator 68. The air in the heating pressure vessel 14 is replaced with nitrogen gas in order to remove oxygen from the heating pressure vessel 14 and to prevent oxidization (including combustion) of combustible materials inside the vessel in the subsequent process.

[0051] After a predetermined time has elapsed and the air inside the heating pressure vessel 14 has been replaced with nitrogen gas, the downstream open / close valve 38 is closed and high-pressure nitrogen gas is supplied from the gas supply device 22 to increase the pressure inside the heating pressure vessel 14 to a predetermined pressure higher than atmospheric pressure. Here, the predetermined pressure is 2.0 MPa in this embodiment.

[0052] The control device 74 detects the pressure inside the heating pressure vessel 14 using the pressure sensor 18, and when it determines that the internal pressure has reached a predetermined pressure, it closes the opening / closing valve 28 of the gas supply device 22 to seal the inside of the heating pressure vessel 14.

[0053] (3) Tire heating and pressurization process After the heating pressure vessel 14 has been completely sealed, the control device 74 energizes the heater 16 to heat the tire 12 inside the vessel. The control device 74 measures the temperature inside the vessel with the temperature sensor 20, and controls the energization of the heater 16 so that the temperature inside the vessel becomes a predetermined temperature. Here, the predetermined temperature is 500° C. in this embodiment.

[0054] In this way, by heating the tire 12 under the above-mentioned high pressure and high temperature conditions, it is possible to thermally deteriorate and embrittle the rubber of the tire 12. In addition, under the above-mentioned high pressure and high temperature conditions, the oil in the rubber is heated, but the oil is trapped inside the embrittled rubber without volatilizing.

[0055] (4) While the tire 12 is being heated, the control device 74 closes the opening / closing valve 40, the opening / closing valve 46, the opening / closing valve 52, and the opening / closing valve 64 to seal the vacuum container 36, then opens the opening / closing valve 62 and operates the vacuum pump 56 to create a negative pressure (<atmospheric pressure) inside the vacuum container 36.

[0056] Then, after the inside of the vacuum vessel 36 is made negative pressure (<atmospheric pressure), the vacuum pump 56 is stopped and the open / close valve 62 is closed to maintain the negative pressure state of the vacuum vessel 36. At the same time, the cooling device 48 cools the vacuum vessel 36 to a predetermined temperature. The predetermined temperature is a temperature at which the oil content of the gas introduced into the vacuum vessel 36 can be condensed.

[0057] (5) After a preset time has elapsed and heating of the tire 12 has been completed, the control device 74 stops the supply of electricity to the heating heater 16, opens the on-off valve 38 and the on-off valve 40, releases the pyrolysis gas in the heating pressure vessel 14 into the vacuum vessel 36 in one go, and reduces the pressure in the heating pressure vessel 14 in one go. This causes the oil in the brittle rubber to rapidly volatilize and expand, and the brittle rubber can be easily crushed by the force of volatilization and expansion, allowing the steel and rubber to be separated simply and efficiently. Thereafter, the on-off valve 64 is opened and high-pressure nitrogen gas is supplied from the gas supply device 22 to the heating pressure vessel 14, thereby pushing out the gas containing oil remaining inside the heating pressure vessel 14 towards the vacuum vessel 36.

[0058] (6) Oil removal (part 1) The oil-containing pyrolysis gas discharged from the heating pressure vessel 14 has some of the oil removed in the first cyclone 32 before reaching the vacuum vessel 36, and the pyrolysis gas from which the oil has been removed to some extent is introduced into the vacuum vessel 36. The oil removed by the first cyclone 32 can be discharged into an oil recovery container 44 by opening an on-off valve 46 .

[0059] (7) Oil removal (part 2) Since the vacuum vessel 36 is cooled by a cooling device 48, when the pyrolysis gas passes through the inside of the vacuum vessel 36, the pyrolysis gas is cooled and the oil in the pyrolysis gas is condensed, thereby further removing the oil from the pyrolysis gas. The oil removed in the vacuum vessel 36 can be discharged into the oil recovery vessel 44 by opening the on-off valve 52 .

[0060] (8) Oil removal (part 3) The pyrolysis gas that has passed through the vacuum vessel 36 then passes through a second cyclone 60, where the oil component is further separated. The oil removed by the second cyclone 60 can be discharged to the oil recovery container 44 via a pipe 70.

[0061] (9) Gas combustion exhaust The pyrolysis gas discharged from the second cyclone 60 may contain flammable gas. In this case, it is preferable to ignite the flammable gas by the ignition burner 72 when the gas passes through the incinerator 68, and to combust (burn) the flammable gas in the incinerator 68. The exhaust gas remaining after burning the combustible gas can be discharged from the incinerator 68 into the atmosphere.

[0062] (10) Once the heated pressure vessel 14 has cooled, the supply of nitrogen gas from the gas supply device 22 to the heated pressure vessel 14 can be stopped, the lid 14B can be opened, and the steel and rubber that have been separated from each other can be removed from the heated pressure vessel 14.

[0063] If any lumps remain in the rubber from which the steel has been removed, a crushing step may be added to crush the lumps into small pieces.

[0064] In this embodiment, the tire 12 to be treated is placed in the heating and pressure vessel 14 without being cut, so there is no need to disassemble the tire 12 to be treated before placing it in the heating and pressure vessel 14.

[0065] It is also possible to carbonize the rubber by continuing to heat it after crushing and separating it inside the heating pressure vessel 14. Also, organic fibers and the like contained in the tire 12 can be carbonized together with the rubber.

[0066] The separated charcoal, steel, and oil recovered from the gas can be recycled as appropriate. The charcoal and steel can be used as raw materials for tires and other purposes.

[0067] In addition, the rubber and steel are separated inside the heating and pressure vessel 14, and the tire 12 is placed into the heating and pressure vessel 14 without being cut, so the mesh steel belt and steel bead core maintain their annular shape. Therefore, they can be easily picked up by hooking them onto a crane hook or the like.

[0068] Additionally, the steel belt or steel bead core can also be removed using a magnet.

[0069] In addition, since the tire 12 is not cut, no steel dust is generated, and no finely shredded steel or iron powder remains in the heating and pressure vessel 14.

[0070] [Other embodiments] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above, and it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in various modified forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the tire 12 is pyrolyzed using the pyrolysis device 10. However, the pyrolysis device 10 can pyrolyze any polymeric compound containing inorganic materials in the same manner as the tire 12.

[0072] Examples of waste containing inorganic materials (polymer compounds) include rubber crawlers containing metal cores, rubber belts containing steel cords, rubber hoses containing steel cords, and rubber-coated electric wires, but other materials may also be used. The inorganic material is not limited to steel, but may be a metal material other than steel, such as copper or brass. Examples of polymeric compounds other than rubber include synthetic resins such as polyester and nylon.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the tire 12 is treated at an internal pressure of the heating pressure vessel 14 of 2.0 MPa and an internal temperature of the vessel of 500° C., but the pressure and temperature are not limited to these. Conditions for thermally deteriorating rubber can be a pressure in the range of 0.15 MPa to 2.0 MPa and a temperature in the range of 350° C. to 500° C. [Explanation of symbols]
