Abstract
Description
Carbon fiber aggregate, preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new material preparation, and in particular to a carbon fiber aggregate and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Extreme climate change and energy crises are two major challenges facing humanity this century. As we all know, carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas, and global extreme climate change is primarily driven by rising global carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the disposal of carbon dioxide has become a problem that requires the attention and resolution of all of society. Carbon dioxide utilization can be categorized into four major categories: chemical synthesis, fuel production, biological applications, and direct applications. Currently, global carbon dioxide emissions total approximately 35 billion tons per year. However, the chemical industry, the largest user of carbon dioxide, only uses approximately 220 million tons per year, a drop in the bucket compared to global carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, only by converting carbon dioxide into energy and fuel can carbon dioxide use be matched with consumption. Among the current methods for converting carbon dioxide into energy and fuel, the technology that reacts carbon dioxide with water to produce syngas is attracting the most attention. This is because syngas is a traditional fuel energy source, water resources are readily available, and syngas is also an important chemical energy storage medium.
[0003] Over 90% of chemical raw materials come from fossil fuels such as petroleum, shale gas, and coal. The current shortage of fossil energy and the environmental problems associated with fossil fuel use have made the development of environmentally friendly renewable energy a hot topic in the current energy sector. For more sustainable economic and social development, there is an urgent need to replace fossil energy with renewable biomass energy. Straw is a common agricultural solid waste in rural my country, characterized by its widespread distribution and abundant resources. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), various cereal crops grown worldwide provide 1.7 billion tons of straw annually, and my country's total crop straw production reaches over 700 million tons, making it a significant renewable energy resource. The rapid development of pyrolysis technology in recent years has made it one of the more efficient and mature technologies for biomass utilization. However, numerous studies have found that biomass contains a large amount of aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic derivatives. These substances, when heated, form large amounts of tar and coke, requiring extensive cleaning of reaction vessels. If the tar in the cracking products is not treated, it will gradually cool as it is carried through pipelines, forming a viscous liquid that adheres to the pipelines, causing corrosion, scaling, blockage, and other safety threats to pipelines and equipment.
[0004] Polyolefins refer to thermoplastic polymers formed by polymerizing ethylene, propylene, butene, or α-olefins. These include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), which are commonly used in daily life. Currently, global polyolefin production exceeds 220 million tons per year. They are widely used in healthcare, agriculture, transportation, electronics, construction, energy conservation, environmental protection, and new energy, making them the world's largest and most widely used polymer material. my country is the world's largest producer and consumer of polyolefins, with total production capacity reaching 53 million tons per year and total consumption exceeding 66 million tons per year in 2020. However, due to the carbon-carbon bonds in the polyolefin backbone, they are chemically stable, making them difficult to degrade in the wild and even in strong acid and alkaline conditions. This makes waste polyolefins a significant source of environmental pollution, often referred to as white pollution. Although polyolefins can be recycled through thermoplastic processing, the addition and use of additives during the recycling process prevents them from being permanently recycled through physical recycling. Ultimately, chemical recycling methods are needed to process polyolefins into chemical feedstocks or fuels. Pyrolysis is the most effective method for processing waste polyolefins, but the process is prone to forming tar and carbon deposits. This reduces the heat transfer efficiency of the cracking furnace. If the tar in the cracking products is not treated, it will gradually cool as it is carried through pipelines, forming a viscous liquid that adheres to the pipes, causing corrosion, scaling, blockage, and other safety threats to pipelines and equipment.
[0005] VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are a class of organic compounds with boiling points between 50 and 260°C at standard atmospheric pressure. They primarily originate from refineries, the chemical industry, fuel combustion, pharmaceutical plants, the automotive industry, textile manufacturers, solvent processing, cleaning products, printing presses, insulation materials, and office supplies. VOCs are toxic and carcinogenic, not only damaging the environment but also reacting with other atmospheric pollutants (such as NOx and SOx) to form photochemical smog, which in turn depletes the ozone layer. Long-term exposure to VOCs poses a threat to human health and can cause irreversible damage. With the acceleration of industrialization, annual VOC emissions have increased dramatically. According to statistics, VOC emissions in 2019 were approximately 23.4 Tg. If current control levels remain unchanged, due to rapid economic development, total anthropogenic VOC emissions in my country are projected to increase by 23% by 2025 compared to 2019. To reduce the harmful effects of VOCs on the environment and humans, my country has implemented strict regulations to limit further VOC emissions. These regulations include requirements for monitoring, controlling, and treating VOCs emission sources. In addition, VOCs treatment technology is also an important way to eliminate pollution and has attracted widespread attention.
[0006] At present, the VOCs composition in the industrial production process is extremely complex. According to the survey, the main hydrocarbon VOCs components are: 2-methylpentane, hydrogen, n-hexane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, n-heptane, 2,3,4-trimethylpentane, methylcyclohexane, n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane, propane, isobutane, isobutylene, n-butane, cyclopentane, isopentane, n-pentane, ethane, n-undecane, n-dodecane, methylcyclopentane, 3-methylpentane, 3-methylhexane, 2-methylhexane, 2,4-dimethylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, 2,3 -Dimethylbutane, cyclohexane, 2-methylheptane, 3-methylheptane, 2,3-dimethylpentane, propylene, trans-2-butene, 1-butene, cis-2-butene, 1-pentene, cis-2-pentene, ethylene, acetylene, benzene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, methane, toluene, m-ethyltoluene, p-ethyltoluene, o-ethyltoluene, styrene, isopropylbenzene, n-propylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene, m-diethylbenzene, p-diethylbenzene, acetone, 1,3-butadiene, carbon monoxide, etc.
[0007] Although these VOCs contain many chemical raw materials, their complex composition makes it difficult for petrochemical companies to effectively utilize them through gas separation. Therefore, petrochemical companies currently primarily use combustion to treat VOCs. This involves adding combustible gases to the VOCs and then fully burning them. However, this method has a significant drawback: combustion produces carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that absorbs heat from the Earth's surface and gradually raises the temperature, contributing to global warming. Therefore, when petrochemical companies use combustion to treat VOCs, they increase their carbon emissions, adversely affecting global climate change. Furthermore, petrochemical companies also emit carbon dioxide during their production processes. These emissions primarily come from oil processing, petrochemical production, and energy consumption. Therefore, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, we seek to develop a technology that can simultaneously treat both VOCs and carbon dioxide.
[0008] Plasma is the fourth state of matter, in addition to solid, liquid, and gas. Its characteristic is that its state is highly dependent on electromagnetic fields. Plasma is composed of unbound ions and free electrons, and its overall state is electrically neutral. Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength between infrared and ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio waves, possessing very strong penetrating power. Their wavelengths range from 1 meter to 1 mm, corresponding to frequencies of 300 GHz to 300 MHz. Microwave plasma technology, which generates plasma through microwave irradiation, can achieve energy conversion efficiencies exceeding 60% under non-equilibrium plasma conditions.
[0009] Microwave plasma has a significant thermal effect. Chinese invention patent applications CN111099917A and CN112823441A describe porous composite materials produced by microwave irradiation in an inert atmosphere, generating temperatures exceeding 1000°C. However, the porous composite materials produced in these applications are rigid structural materials, resulting in high brittleness and easy damage, making them unsuitable for long-term use.
[0010] China's invention patent CN111099943A uses a porous composite material to generate a high temperature of over 1000°C under a nitrogen atmosphere through microwave irradiation, thereby rapidly cracking biomass. However, the porous composite materials prepared by these two patents are rigid structural materials, which are brittle and easily damaged, making them unsuitable for long-term use. They also cannot solve the problem of generating a large amount of tar and coke when cracking biomass.
[0011] Chinese invention patent CN111100661A, the porous composite material prepared can generate a high temperature of more than 1000 ° C by microwave irradiation in a nitrogen atmosphere, thereby quickly cracking polyolefins. However, the porous composite materials prepared by these two patents are rigid structural materials, which are brittle and easy to damage, which is not conducive to long-term use, and cannot solve the problem that polyolefin cracking produces a large amount of tar and coke. Studies have found that carbon dioxide can react with coke and tar under high microwave temperatures to convert into carbon monoxide. Therefore, if a microwave heating material that is not easily damaged and can generate plasma in a microwave field containing a carbon dioxide atmosphere is designed and synthesized, that is, the coke and tar produced by biomass cracking are reduced, the utilization rate of biomass microwave cracking is improved, and carbon dioxide is recycled and utilized at the same time, achieving efficient recycling of carbon dioxide and biomass, it has a wide range of application markets.
[0012] Furthermore, research has found that carbon dioxide can react with coke and tar under microwave temperatures to convert into carbon monoxide. Therefore, if a durable microwave heating material capable of generating plasma in a microwave field containing a carbon dioxide atmosphere could be designed and synthesized, it would be possible to reduce the coke and tar produced by polyolefin cracking, improve the utilization rate of polyolefin microwave cracking, and simultaneously recycle carbon dioxide, achieving efficient simultaneous recycling of carbon dioxide and polyolefins, potentially having broad market applications.
[0013] Furthermore, research has found that VOCs can be cracked into methane, ethylene, hydrogen, and amorphous carbon under microwave plasma at temperatures exceeding 1000°C. Amorphous carbon, at 1000°C, can react with carbon dioxide to produce carbon monoxide. Methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen are important energy fuels. Ethylene can be used to produce polyethylene, and hydrogen and carbon monoxide can be used to produce alkanes through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Therefore, the technology of simultaneously converting VOCs and carbon dioxide into methane, ethylene, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen has extremely high economic value and market applications.
[0014] Therefore, the research direction of this invention is to provide a new material that can generate high temperatures exceeding 1000°C in microwaves, and which can overcome the brittleness and fragility of existing porous composite materials. Furthermore, the research direction of this invention is to use this material to recycle carbon dioxide using microwave heating, and even to recycle carbon dioxide and organic matter such as biomass, plastics, and VOCs simultaneously.
[0015] Summary of the Invention
[0016] Carbon fiber is a material that has both high strength and flexibility. Ordinary carbon fiber, such as T300 carbon fiber monofilament, has a tensile strength of up to 3500MPa and a tensile modulus of up to 230GPa. From a physical property point of view, although it can solve the problems of high brittleness and easy damage, since carbon fiber can both absorb and reflect microwaves, and weaving carbon fiber can only produce microwave reflective materials, such practical applications show that carbon fiber is more inclined to reflect microwaves. At present, there is no precedent for pure carbon fiber to generate plasma through microwave irradiation as a microwave heating material. Through research, the inventors of the present invention unexpectedly found that by controlling the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate, a carbon fiber aggregate can be obtained. Although the carbon fiber aggregate is pure carbon fiber, it can generate plasma and high temperatures exceeding 1000°C under microwave irradiation.
[0017] Based on the above findings, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a fiber assembly, a preparation method and application thereof, and a method for preparing synthesis gas using carbon dioxide.

This method utilizes a carbon fiber aggregate that can generate high temperatures and plasma in a microwave field containing carbon dioxide gas to efficiently crack biomass. By utilizing the properties of biomass producing coke and tar, and carbon dioxide converting to carbon monoxide under microwave plasma and high temperatures, the biomass and carbon dioxide are simultaneously and efficiently converted into synthesis gas with carbon monoxide as the main component.
[0019] The present invention also provides a method for simultaneously recycling polyolefins and carbon dioxide using microwaves. This method utilizes a carbon fiber aggregate that can generate high temperatures and plasma in a microwave field containing carbon dioxide gas to efficiently crack polyolefins. By utilizing the properties of polyolefins, which produce coke and tar, and carbon dioxide, which are converted into carbon monoxide under microwave plasma and high temperatures, the polyolefins and carbon dioxide are simultaneously and efficiently converted into synthesis gas with carbon monoxide as the main component.
[0020] The present invention also provides a method for the simultaneous recovery and utilization of VOCs and carbon dioxide using microwaves. This method utilizes a carbon fiber aggregate that can generate high temperatures and plasma in a microwave field containing carbon dioxide gas to efficiently crack VOCs into methane, ethylene, hydrogen, and amorphous carbon. The amorphous carbon and carbon dioxide can then be converted into carbon monoxide at high temperatures, thereby achieving the simultaneous and efficient recovery and utilization of VOCs and carbon dioxide.

Alternatively, an industrial-style microwave oven with an air inlet and outlet (such as a microwave pyrolysis reactor) is used for gas collection: nitrogen is purged during the reaction process and a gas collection bag is used to collect samples at the outlet.
[0073] Through the above technical solution, the present invention provides a carbon fiber aggregate, a preparation method and application, and a method for preparing synthesis gas using carbon dioxide. The carbon fiber aggregate is a material composed of a large number of carbon fiber ends gathered in a disordered manner, wherein plasma can be generated between the carbon fiber ends under microwave irradiation. The present invention obtains a carbon fiber aggregate by controlling the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate. Although the carbon fiber aggregate is pure carbon fiber, it can generate plasma and a high temperature of over 1000°C under microwave irradiation. It overcomes the problem of high brittleness and easy damage of porous composite materials in the prior art. In addition, the carbon fiber aggregate of the present invention has simple raw materials, is easy to prepare, and has extremely high promotion and application value.
[0074] Carbon monoxide and hydrogen are important chemical raw materials. By adopting the synthesis gas preparation method of the present invention and using carbon fiber aggregates as carbon fiber microwave heating materials, carbon dioxide can be effectively converted into carbon monoxide, or carbon dioxide and water can be converted into carbon monoxide and hydrogen, thereby realizing the resource utilization of carbon dioxide and recycling graphite in discarded batteries, which has extremely high application value.

[0167] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It is necessary to point out that the following embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Non-essential improvements and adjustments made by those skilled in the art to the present invention based on the contents of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0168] The experimental data in the examples were measured using the following instruments and measurement methods:
[0169] In the embodiment, the collected synthesis gas components are subjected to chromatographic analysis in the following manner:
[0170] The gas products collected after cracking were analyzed using a refinery gas analyzer (HPAgilent 7890A, equipped with 3 channels, including 1 FID and 2 TCDs (thermal conductivity detectors)) according to the ASTM D1945-14 method. Hydrocarbons were analyzed on the FID channel. A TCD using a nitrogen carrier gas was used to determine the hydrogen content because there is a small difference in the conductivity of hydrogen and helium carrier gases. Another TCD using helium as a carrier gas was used to detect CO, CO2, N2, and O2. In order to perform quantitative analysis, the response factor was determined by using an RGA (refinery gas analysis) calibration gas standard.
[0171] The number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate is obtained by theoretical calculation. The specific calculation method is:
[0172] (1) When the carbon fiber basic unit of the carbon fiber aggregate is a single carbon fiber, the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate corresponds to the following formula:
[0173] N is the number of carbon fiber ends per gram of the carbon fiber aggregate (unit: pieces), ρ is the carbon fiber density (unit: g / m 3 ), d is the carbon fiber diameter (unit: m), and L is the carbon fiber filament length (unit: m).
[0174] (2) When the carbon fiber basic unit of the carbon fiber aggregate is a carbon fiber bundle prepared from carbon fiber bundles having one or more knotting points, the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate is calculated as follows:
[0175] N=[(n-1)×2×t+2]×k / m
[0176] N is the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate (unit: pieces), n is the number of knotting points on the carbon fiber bundle; t is the ratio of the long carbon fiber bundle cut between the knotting points, k is the number of carbon fiber roots in the carbon fiber bundle, and m is the total mass of the carbon fiber bundle (unit: g).
[0177] Take the calculation method described in Example 1 as an example. A 5000mm long T300 carbon fiber 12K bundle is knotted by itself with a knotting spacing of 10mm (single knot), and 499 knots can be tied. Cutting the carbon fiber at the middle position of the two ends of the knotting point by two-thirds can produce [(499-1)×2×2 / 3+2)]×12000=7992000 carbon fiber ends. The knotting point formed by the single knot is a ring without end. The mass of the 5000mm long T300 carbon fiber 12K bundle is 3.96g. Therefore, the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate described in Example 1 is 7992000÷3.96g≈2×10 6 indivual.
[0178] (3) For a carbon fiber aggregate prepared from carbon fiber bundles having one or more fixed nodes and / or bundled nodes, the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate is calculated as follows:
[0179] N=[(n-1)×2×t×k+2k+c1×n1×k1)] / m
[0180] N is the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate (unit: pieces), n is the total number of fixed nodes formed by knotting and bundling on the carbon fiber bundle; t is the ratio of the long carbon fiber bundles cut at the fixed nodes, and k is the number of carbon fibers in the long carbon fiber bundles;
[0181] c1 is the number of ends of each bundle at each fixed node when the fixed node is a bundling node; n1 is the number of bundling nodes; k1 is the number of carbon fibers contained in the bundle of the bundling node.
[0182] m is the total mass of the carbon fiber bundle (unit: g).
[0183] (4) When the carbon fiber basic unit of the carbon fiber aggregate includes both a single carbon fiber and a carbon fiber bundle, the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate is calculated as follows:
[0184] N is the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate (unit: pieces), n is the total number of fixed nodes formed by knotting and bundling on the carbon fiber bundles in the part constructed with carbon fiber bundles as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate; t is the ratio of the long carbon fiber bundles at the fixed node in the part constructed with carbon fiber bundles as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate, k is the number of carbon fibers in the long carbon fiber bundles in the part constructed with carbon fiber bundles as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate; c1 is the number of ends of each bundle of each fixed node in the part constructed with carbon fiber bundles as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate when the fixed node is a bundling node; n1 is the number of bundling nodes in the part constructed with carbon fiber bundles as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate; k1 is the number of carbon fibers containing carbon fiber bundles in the bundle of the bundling node in the part constructed with carbon fiber bundles as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate; ρ is the carbon fiber density in the part constructed with a single carbon fiber as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate (unit: g / m 3 ), d is the carbon fiber diameter in the part constructed with a single carbon fiber as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate (unit: m), L is the carbon fiber filament length in the part constructed with a single carbon fiber as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate (unit: m); m1 is the total mass of the part constructed with carbon fiber bundles as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate (unit: g), and m2 is the total mass of the part constructed with a single carbon fiber as the basic unit in the carbon fiber aggregate (unit: g).
[0185] Take the calculation method described in Example 5 as an example. A 2500mm long T300 carbon fiber 12K bundle is knotted by itself with a knotting spacing of 10mm (single knot), and 249 knots can be tied. Cutting two-thirds of the carbon fiber bundle at a distance of 5mm between the knotting points can produce [(249-1)×2×2 / 3+2)]×12000=3992000 carbon fiber ends. The knotting point formed by the single knot is a ring without an end. The mass of the 2500mm long T300 carbon fiber 12K bundle is 1.98g; the length is 5mm, the diameter is 7μm, and the density is 1.8g / cm 3 , the mass of a single T700 carbon fiber is 3 g, so the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of the carbon fiber aggregate described in Example 5 is.
[0186] Temperature detection method: After the microwave irradiation is completed, a metal thermocouple is immediately inserted into the reaction container and brought into contact with the carbon fiber aggregate to measure the temperature.
[0187] Preparation of carbon fiber aggregates:
[0188] Example 1
[0189] A 5000 mm long T300 carbon fiber 12K bundle (3.96 g, Weihai Guangwei Composite Materials Group Co., Ltd.) was taken and tied with a single knot at a 10 mm knotting interval, resulting in 499 knots. Two-thirds of the carbon fiber bundle at a distance of 5 mm from the knotting point was cut to form a carbon fiber aggregate. The material was rolled up and placed in a quartz jar. The number of carbon fiber ends per gram of the carbon fiber aggregate was approximately 2×10 6 At this point, the material can generate plasma and an equilibrium temperature of 1200°C under pure carbon dioxide atmosphere through 900W microwave irradiation.
[0190] Comparative Example 1

Two-thirds of the carbon fiber bundle at a distance of 125mm between the knotting points was cut to make a carbon fiber aggregate, which was then rolled up and placed in a quartz jar. The number of carbon fiber ends per gram of the carbon fiber aggregate was approximately 7.9×10 4 At this time, when the material is irradiated with 900W microwaves in a pure carbon dioxide atmosphere, the equilibrium temperature of the material can only reach 300°C.

The carbon fiber bundle was cut into two-thirds of the knotting point at a distance of 7 mm from the knotting point to form a carbon fiber aggregate.

The graphite was completely consumed, and the collected gas products are shown in Table 1A.
[0210] Example 7A
[0211] The carbon fiber aggregate (4 g) prepared in Example 2 was mixed with graphite (2 g) from discarded batteries and placed in a quartz jar. The mixture was irradiated with microwaves at a power of 700 W for 20 minutes under a pure carbon dioxide atmosphere. The graphite was completely consumed, and the collected gas products are shown in Table 1A.

[0216] Example 10A
[0217] The carbon fiber aggregate (6 g) prepared in Example 4 and the graphite (2 g) from the discarded battery were placed in a quartz jar and irradiated with microwaves at a microwave power of 1200 W for 20 minutes in a mixed gas atmosphere of carbon dioxide and water vapor with a volume ratio of 30:70. The graphite was completely consumed, and the collected gas products are shown in Table 1A.
[0218] Example 11A

The graphite was completely consumed, and the collected gas products are shown in Table 1A.
[0220] Comparative Example 5A
[0221] Graphite (2 g) from discarded batteries was placed in a quartz jar and irradiated with microwaves at 900 W for 20 minutes under a pure carbon dioxide atmosphere. The mass of the graphite did not change, and the collected gas products are shown in Table 1A.

The mass of the graphite did not change, and the collected gas products are shown in Table 1A.
[0224] Table 1A
[0225] Examples 6A-8A demonstrate that microwave irradiation of graphite and carbon fiber aggregates from discarded batteries in a pure carbon dioxide atmosphere can efficiently convert the graphite and carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide. Examples 9A-11A demonstrate that microwave irradiation of graphite and carbon fiber aggregates from discarded batteries in a mixed gas atmosphere of carbon dioxide and water vapor can efficiently convert the graphite, carbon dioxide, and water vapor into carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
[0226] Compared with Example 6A, in Comparative Example 5A, when the carbon fiber aggregate is removed, the gaseous product collected after microwave treatment does not contain carbon monoxide, indicating that the use of the carbon fiber aggregate is the key to the reaction of carbon dioxide and graphite to generate carbon monoxide.
[0227] Comparing Comparative Example 6A with Example 10A, the gaseous product collected after microwave treatment after the carbon fiber aggregate was removed contained no carbon monoxide or hydrogen. This demonstrates that the use of the carbon fiber aggregate is key to the reaction of the carbon dioxide and water vapor mixture with graphite to produce carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide and hydrogen form synthesis gas, an important chemical raw material. This demonstrates that the carbon fiber aggregate can effectively convert carbon dioxide into synthesis gas, achieving carbon dioxide resource utilization.
[0228] Example of simultaneous recycling of biomass and carbon dioxide using microwaves:
[0229] The experimental data in the examples were measured using the following instruments and measurement methods:
[0230] In the embodiment, the collected synthesis gas components are subjected to chromatographic analysis in the following manner:
[0231] The gas products collected after cracking were analyzed using a refinery gas analyzer (HPAgilent 7890A, equipped with 3 channels, including 1 FID and 2 TCDs (thermal conductivity detectors)) according to the ASTM D1945-14 method. Hydrocarbons were analyzed on the FID channel. A TCD using a nitrogen carrier gas was used to determine the hydrogen content because there is a small difference in the conductivity of hydrogen and helium carrier gases. Another TCD using helium as a carrier gas was used to detect CO, CO2, N2, and O2. In order to perform quantitative analysis, the response factor was determined by using an RGA (refinery gas analysis) calibration gas standard.
[0232] In the embodiment, the residual rate of carbon-based solid matter after biomass pyrolysis is X c The content is analyzed by weighing method:
[0233] The mass of the biomass after drying is weighed as M1, and the mass of the solid matter remaining after biomass cracking is weighed as M2. Since biomass contains inorganic components such as silicate, the solid remaining after biomass cracking is burned in air at 800℃, and the mass of the solid matter after combustion is weighed as M3.

[0237] Take straw, bagasse, branches, leaves, sawdust, rice husk, straw, peanut shell, coconut shell, palm seed shell and corn cob, and use a blast dryer to dehydrate at 200 ° C for 5 hours. Take 2g of dehydrated straw, bagasse, branches, leaves, sawdust, rice husk, straw, peanut shell, coconut shell, palm seed shell and corn cob respectively, and place them on the surface of 4g of carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1, and then put the biomass and carbon fiber aggregate into a quartz jar. In a pure carbon dioxide atmosphere, use an industrial microwave oven to microwave irradiate for 10 minutes at a microwave power of 700W. All materials are gasified and cracked after microwave irradiation, leaving only a small amount of black residue. The residual rate of carbon-based solid matter X is measured by weighing. c , as shown in Table 1B, and the composition of the obtained gas phase product is shown in Table 2B.
[0238] Example 7B
[0239] Take straw, bagasse, branches, leaves, sawdust, rice husk, straw, peanut shells, coconut shells, palm seed shells and corn cobs, and use an industrial microwave oven to dehydrate them for 30 minutes at 350W power under air purge. Take 64g of dehydrated straw, bagasse, branches, leaves, sawdust, rice husk, straw, peanut shells, coconut shells, palm seed shells and corn cobs respectively, and mix them with 32g of the carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1, and then put the biomass and carbon fiber aggregate into a quartz jar. In an atmosphere of a mixed gas with a volume ratio of carbon dioxide to nitrogen of 70:30, use an industrial microwave oven and microwave irradiate for 10 minutes at a microwave power of 2000W. All materials are gasified and cracked after microwave irradiation, leaving only a small amount of black residue. The residual rate of carbon-based solid matter X is measured by weighing. c , as shown in Table 1B, and the composition of the obtained gas phase product is shown in Table 2B.
[0240] Comparative Example 5B
[0241] The 4 g of carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1 used in Example 6B was replaced with 4 g of silicon carbide powder. Other conditions were the same as in Example 6B. The microwave irradiation cracking product contained a large amount of black residue. The residual carbon-based solid matter rate X was measured by weighing. c , as shown in Table 1B.
[0242] Comparative Example 6B
[0243] The microwave irradiation gas environment used in Example 6B was replaced by pure nitrogen instead of pure carbon dioxide. Other conditions were the same as those in Example 6B. The microwave irradiation cracking product contained a large amount of black residue. The residual carbon-based solid matter rate X was measured by weighing. c , as shown in Table 1B.
[0244] Comparative Example 7B
[0245] 4 g of the carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1 used in Example 6B was replaced with 4 g of the carbon fiber aggregate in Comparative Example 1. Other conditions were the same as in Example 6B. The microwave irradiation cracking product contained a large amount of black residue, and the carbon-based solid matter residual rate Xc was measured by weighing, as shown in Table 1B.

[0247] Table 2B. Gas phase composition of cracking products excluding nitrogen
[0248] As shown in Table 1B, the final carbon-based solid matter residual rate (X) of biomass cracked by microwave using carbon fiber aggregates in an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide gas is c ) are less than 5% (Example 6B and Example 7B), while the X of microwave pyrolysis of biomass using traditional microwave heating materials is c are greater than 20% (Comparative Example 5B), and if only carbon fiber aggregates are used and microwave pyrolysis of biomass is not performed in an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide, the final X c The results are both greater than 15% (Comparative Example 6B). It can be seen that the use of carbon fiber aggregates to perform microwave cracking of biomass in an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide gas can achieve more complete biomass cracking than other biomass cracking methods. In addition, since the temperature of the carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Comparative Example 1 can only reach 300°C under carbon dioxide microwave irradiation, only a small amount of biomass is decomposed at this temperature. Therefore, the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of carbon fiber aggregate must reach 1×10 6 More than one can achieve the effect of cracking biomass.
[0249] As shown in Table 2B, the gases produced by biomass pyrolysis in Examples 6B and 7B, in addition to nitrogen, are mainly composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, of which the volume fraction of carbon monoxide is greater than 60% and the volume fraction of hydrogen is greater than 25%, and can be used as chemical raw materials or fuels.
[0250] The carbon fiber aggregates obtained in Example 2-5 were subjected to the same experiment as above, and similar experimental phenomena and results as those in Example 6B were obtained.
[0251] Example of simultaneous recycling of polyolefin and carbon dioxide using microwaves:
[0252] The experimental data in the examples were measured using the following instruments and measurement methods:
[0253] In the embodiment, the collected synthesis gas components are subjected to chromatographic analysis in the following manner:
[0254] The gas products collected after cracking were analyzed using a refinery gas analyzer (HPAgilent 7890A, equipped with 3 channels, including 1 FID and 2 TCDs (thermal conductivity detectors)) according to ASTM D1945-14.

[0260] Take polyethylene pellets, polypropylene flakes removed from discarded lunch boxes, poly-1 butene pellets, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer removed from discarded shoe soles, and use a blast dryer to remove small molecules at 200°C for 5 hours. Take 2g of polyethylene pellets after small molecules are removed, polypropylene flakes removed from discarded lunch boxes, poly-1 butene pellets, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer removed from discarded shoe soles, and place them on the surface of 4g of the carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1. Then put the polyolefin and carbon fiber aggregate into a quartz jar. In a pure carbon dioxide atmosphere, use an industrial microwave oven to irradiate with a microwave power of 700W for 10 minutes. All materials are gasified and cracked after microwave irradiation, leaving only a small amount of black residue. The carbon-based solid matter residual rate X is measured by weighing. c , as shown in Table 1C, and the composition of the obtained gas phase product is shown in Table 2C.
[0261] Example 7C
[0262] Take polyethylene pellets, polypropylene flakes removed from discarded lunch boxes, poly-1 butene pellets, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer removed from discarded shoe soles, and use an industrial microwave oven at 350W power for 30 minutes under air purge to remove small molecules. Take 64g of polyethylene pellets after small molecules are removed, polypropylene flakes removed from discarded lunch boxes, poly-1 butene pellets, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer removed from discarded shoe soles, respectively, and mix them with 32g of carbon fiber aggregates obtained in Example 1, and then put the polyolefin and carbon fiber aggregates into a quartz jar. In an atmosphere of a mixed gas with a volume ratio of carbon dioxide to water vapor of 80:20, use an industrial microwave oven and microwave irradiate for 10 minutes at a microwave power of 2000W. All materials are gasified and cracked after microwave irradiation, leaving only a small amount of black residue. The residual rate of carbon-based solid matter X is measured by weighing. c , as shown in Table 1C, and the composition of the obtained gas phase product is shown in Table 2C.
[0263] Comparative Example 5C
[0264] The 4 g of carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1 used in Example 6C was replaced with 4 g of silicon carbide powder. Other conditions were the same as those in Example 6C. The microwave irradiation cracking product contained a large amount of black residue. The residual carbon-based solid matter rate X was measured by weighing. c , as shown in Table 1C.
[0265] Comparative Example 6C
[0266] The microwave irradiation gas environment used in Example 6C was replaced by pure nitrogen instead of pure carbon dioxide. Other conditions were the same as those in Example 6C. The microwave irradiation cracking product contained a large amount of black residue. The residual carbon-based solid matter rate X was measured by weighing. c , as shown in Table 1C.
[0267] Comparative Example 7C
[0268] 4 g of the carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1 used in Example 6C was replaced with 4 g of the carbon fiber aggregate in Comparative Example 1. Other conditions were the same as those in Example 6C. The microwave irradiation cracking product contained a large amount of black residue. The residual carbon-based solid matter rate X was measured by weighing. c , as shown in Table 1C.
[0269] Table 1C
[0270] Table 2C. Gas phase composition of cracking products
[0271] As shown in Table 1C, the final carbon-based solid matter residual rate (X) of polyolefins subjected to microwave pyrolysis using carbon fiber aggregates in an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide gas is shown in Table 1C. c ) are less than 3% (Example 6C and Example 7C), while the X of polyolefins cracked by microwave using traditional microwave heating materials is c are greater than 15% (Comparative Example 5C), and if only carbon fiber aggregates are used and microwave cracking of polyolefin is not performed in an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide, the final X c The results are all greater than 8% (Comparative Example 6C). It can be seen that the use of carbon fiber aggregates to perform microwave cracking of polyolefins in an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide gas can achieve more complete polyolefin cracking than other polyolefin cracking methods. In addition, since the temperature of the carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Comparative Example 1 can only reach 300°C under carbon dioxide microwave irradiation, only a small amount of polyolefin decomposes in a short time at this temperature. Therefore, the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of carbon fiber aggregate must reach 1×10 6 More than one can achieve the effect of cracking polyolefins.
[0272] As shown in Table 2C, the gases produced by polyolefin cracking in Examples 6C and 7C, excluding unreacted carbon dioxide, primarily consist of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane, and ethylene. After separation, all of these gases can be used as chemical raw materials or energy fuels. The same experiments were performed on the samples obtained in Examples 2-5, yielding similar experimental phenomena and results.
[0273] Example of using microwaves to simultaneously recover and utilize VOCs and carbon dioxide:
[0274] The experimental data in the examples were measured using the following instruments and measurement methods:
[0275] In the embodiment, the collected cracked gas components are subjected to chromatographic analysis in the following manner:
[0276] The gas products collected after cracking were analyzed using a refinery gas analyzer (HP Agilent 7890A, equipped with 3 channels, including 1 FID and 2 TCDs (thermal conductivity detectors)) according to ASTM D1945-14. Hydrocarbons were analyzed on the FID channel. A TCD using a nitrogen carrier gas was used to determine the hydrogen content because there is a small difference in the conductivity of hydrogen and helium carrier gases. Another TCD using helium as a carrier gas was used to detect CO, CO2, N2, and O2. For quantitative analysis, the response factor was determined by using an RGA (refinery gas analysis) calibration gas standard.
[0277] The raw materials of the embodiments of the invention are all commercially available.
[0278] VOCs gas was collected from several refineries and carbon dioxide was introduced into the gas to prepare five samples with a volume ratio of VOCs to carbon dioxide of 30:70, 40:60, 50:50, 60:40, and 70:30.
[0279] Example 6D
[0280] The carbon fiber aggregate surface obtained by 4g embodiment 1 is put into quartz jar, and vent holes are respectively arranged below and above quartz tube, so that the mixed gas of VOCs and carbon dioxide is entered by the lower port, and flows out from the upper port after contacting with carbon fiber microwave material (i.e. carbon fiber aggregate).First, purge quartz jar under pure carbon dioxide atmosphere, the air inside is excluded, and then sample 1 is passed through with a flow velocity of 40ml / min, and mixed gas 80g is passed through in total, and industrial microwave oven is used, and microwave irradiation is carried out with 700W microwave power, and the gas phase product produced after microwave cracking is collected using a gas collecting bag, and the gas phase composition of gas chromatographic analysis sample 1 and sample 1 cracking product is as shown in Table 1D.
[0281] The volume fraction of carbon dioxide in the cracking product gas of Sample 1 was reduced from 50% to 0%. At the same time, the other 19 VOCs were converted into four substances: methane (19.53 Vol%), ethylene (33.32 Vol%), hydrogen (31.07 Vol%) and carbon monoxide (16.08 Vol%), greatly reducing the difficulty of VOCs recycling.
[0282] The same experiment as above was carried out on the carbon fiber aggregates obtained in Examples 2-5, and similar experimental phenomena and results were obtained.
[0283] Table 1D. Gas phase composition of sample 1 and microwave plasma cracking products of sample 1
[0284] Example 7D
[0285] 12g of the carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1 was placed in a 40cm long U-shaped tube. A mixed gas of VOCs and carbon dioxide was allowed to flow into one end of the U-shaped quartz tube, contact the carbon fiber microwave material, and then flow out from the other end. The U-shaped quartz tube containing the carbon fiber aggregate was placed in an industrial microwave oven. First, a pure carbon dioxide atmosphere was used to purge the quartz jar to remove the air inside. Then, Sample 2 was introduced at a flow rate of 20ml / min, for a total of 200g of mixed gas. Microwave irradiation was performed using an industrial microwave oven at a microwave power of 350W. A gas collection bag was used to collect the gaseous products produced after microwave pyrolysis. The gaseous phase compositions of Sample 2 and its pyrolysis products were analyzed by gas chromatography, as shown in Table 2D.
[0286] The volume fraction of carbon dioxide in the cracking product gas of sample 2 was reduced from 30% to 0%, while the other 17 VOCs were converted into four substances: methane (11.25 Vol%), ethylene (36.61 Vol%), hydrogen (32.44 Vol%) and carbon monoxide (19.7 Vol%).

[0288] Example 8D
[0289] The other conditions were the same as those in Example 6D, except that Sample 1 was replaced by Sample 3, and the mixture was introduced at a flow rate of 80 ml / min, with a total of 40 g of mixed gas introduced. The industrial microwave oven was used for microwave irradiation at a power of 1500 W, and the gas phase products produced after microwave pyrolysis were collected using a gas collection bag. The gas phase compositions of Sample 3 and the pyrolysis products of Sample 3 were analyzed by gas chromatography, as shown in Table 3D.
[0290] The volume fraction of carbon dioxide in the cracking product gas of sample 3 was reduced from 70% to 0%, while the other 22 VOCs were converted into four substances: methane (20.78Vol%), ethylene (20.52Vol%), hydrogen (23Vol%) and carbon monoxide (35.7Vol%).

[0293] The other conditions were the same as those in Example 7D, except that Sample 2 was replaced by Sample 4, and the mixture was introduced at a flow rate of 60 ml / min, with a total of 150 g of mixed gas introduced. The industrial microwave oven was used for microwave irradiation at a power of 900 W, and the gas phase products produced after microwave pyrolysis were collected using a gas collection bag. The gas phase compositions of Sample 4 and the pyrolysis products of Sample 4 were analyzed by gas chromatography, as shown in Table 4D.
[0294] The volume fraction of carbon dioxide in the cracking product gas of sample 4 was reduced from 40% to 0%, while the other 19 VOCs were converted into four substances: methane (18.69 Vol%), ethylene (30.45 Vol%), hydrogen (30.79 Vol%) and carbon monoxide (20.07 Vol%).

[0296] Example 10D
[0297] The other conditions were the same as those in Example 7D, except that Sample 2 was replaced by Sample 5, and the mixture was introduced at a flow rate of 120 ml / min, with a total of 240 g of mixed gas introduced. The industrial microwave oven was used for microwave irradiation at a power of 1500 W, and the gas phase products produced after microwave cracking were collected using a gas collection bag. The gas phase compositions of Sample 5 and the cracking products of Sample 5 were analyzed by gas chromatography, as shown in Table 5D.
[0298] The volume fraction of carbon dioxide in the cracking product gas of sample 5 was reduced from 60% to 0%, while the other 18 VOCs were converted into four substances: methane (19.29 Vol%), ethylene (21.78 Vol%), hydrogen (28.05 Vol%) and carbon monoxide (30.88 Vol%).
[0299] Table 5D. Gas phase composition of sample 5 and microwave plasma cracking products of sample 5
[0300] The experimental results in Tables 1D-5D show that through the plasma treatment generated by the carbon fiber aggregate, the carbon dioxide in the samples was fully consumed, and the complex VOCs components were converted into methane, ethylene, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide, greatly reducing the difficulty of VOCs recycling.
[0301] Comparative Example 5D
[0302] The 4 g of carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1 used in Example 6D was replaced with 4 g of silicon carbide powder. Other conditions were the same as in Example 6D. A gas collecting bag was used to collect the gas phase products produced after microwave cracking, and the gas phase composition of sample 1 and the cracking product of sample 1 was analyzed by gas chromatography, as shown in Table 6D.
[0303] Since silicon carbide cannot generate microwave plasma and its heating temperature cannot exceed 1000°C, the volume fraction of carbon dioxide is only reduced by 10%. At the same time, the number of VOCs components increases from 19 to 25, making the VOCs components more complex and difficult to utilize. Therefore, carbon fiber aggregates are the key to achieving efficient recycling of VOCs and carbon dioxide at the same time.

[0306] In Example 6D, 50 vol% of the carbon dioxide in Sample 1 was replaced with 50 vol% nitrogen, with all other conditions remaining the same as in Example 6D. During the pyrolysis process, the absence of microwave plasma generated by carbon dioxide to consume the amorphous carbon formed by VOCs at high temperatures resulted in the amorphous carbon gradually wrapping around the ends of the carbon fibers, bonding them together. This rapidly reduced the number of carbon fiber ends available for plasma generation, ultimately leading to the failure of the carbon fiber aggregate. This demonstrates the importance of carbon dioxide in stabilizing the microwave pyrolysis system.
[0307] Comparative Example 7D
[0308] The 4 g of carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Example 1 used in Example 6D was replaced with 4 g of carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Comparative Example 1. Other conditions were the same as in Example 6D. A gas collecting bag was used to collect the gaseous products produced after microwave cracking, and the gas phase composition of Sample 1 and the cracking product of Sample 1 was analyzed by gas chromatography, as shown in Table 7D.
[0309] Since the carbon fiber aggregate obtained in Comparative Example 1 can only reach a temperature of 300°C under carbon dioxide microwave irradiation, carbon dioxide and VOCs cannot react at this temperature, so the products before and after pyrolysis in Table 7D do not change. It can be seen that the number of carbon fiber ends contained in each gram of carbon fiber aggregate must reach 1×10 6 More than one can deal with the effects of VOCs and carbon dioxide.
