Description

Process for recycling a solid automotive waste material W comprising a polyolefin-based solid mixture and / or a rubber-based solid mixtureThe present invention relates to a process for recycling a solid automotive waste material W comprising a polyolefin- based solid mixture and / or a rubber-based solid mixture, a recycling unit for carrying out said process, and an automotive material comprising the product(s) obtained by said process.The recycling of end-of-life vehicles is known for years now. In particular, researches have been developed for recycling tires, windows, motors, etc. However, only very few processes for recycling automotive shredder residue (ASR) have been developed. As known in the art, ELVs (end-of-life vehicles) are processed according to a treatment scheme comprising three main phases: depollution, dismantling and shredding. The ferrous fraction represents about 70-75 weight-% of the weight of shredded material, while nonferrous metals represent about 5 weight-% of the total weight of shredded material. The remaining 20-25 weight-% is referred to as automotive shredder residue (ASR), such proportions in the ELV have increased over the past years and will most likely continue as may be taken from R. Cossu, et al., “Automotive shredder residue (ASR) management: An overview, Waste Management, Volume 45, November 2015, Pages 143-151. Such that processes for recycling ASR have to be developed. For example, EP0692356 suggests to recycle automotive shredder residue by preparing a composite material comprising ASR and a virgin polymer; Vijayan, S.K.; Kibria, M.A.; Uddin, M.H.; Bhattacharya, S. “Pretreatment of Automotive Shredder Residues, Their Chemical Characterisation, and Pyrolysis Kinetics." Sustainability 2021, 13, 10549 suggests to recycle automotive shredder residue by pyrolysis; and Juliana Argente Caetano, Valdir Schalch, Javier Mazariegos Pablos “Characterization and recycling of the fine fraction of automotive shredder residue (ASR) for concrete paving blocks production" Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy (2020) 22:835-847 suggest to recycle ASR by solidification with cement, gravel and sand for paving blocks production. As may be taken from the prior art, there is no technique which would permit to obtain high valued pyrolysis oils or extrudates from ASR, in particular for producing highly-valuable products with virgin-like properties. Therefore, there is still a need to provide improved process for recycling solid automotive waste material.Cardamone Giovanni Francesco et al., "Can plastics from end-of-life vehicles be managed in a sustainable way?”, Sustainable Production And Consumption, vol. 29, 1 January 2022, pages 115 to 127, relates to an analysis of novel treatments of sorting, dissolution / precipitation, extrusion, catalytic pyrolysis, and plastic upgrading, which could contribute to define a sustainable plastic from end-of-life vehicles management scheme.EP 0 894818 B1 relates to a processing method for recovery of soluble polymers or polymer mixtures from plasticcontaining materials.CN 117 136 212 A provides a process for extracting polymers, preferably polyolefins, from polymer-containing waste materials. By dissolving under specific conditions, the polymer can be extracted from the waste sample. Through a specific sequence of steps, different classes of polymers of high purity grade can be extracted.Ina Vollmer et al., “Beyond Mechanical Recycling: Giving New Life to Plastic Waste", Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Verlag Chemie, Hoboken, USA, vol. 59, no. 36, 25 June 2020, pages 15402 to 15423, is a review wherein a summary of the various chemical recycling routes and assessment via life-cycle analysis is complemented by an extensive list of processes developed by companies active in chemical recycling.US 2023 / 174736 A1 discloses a method to recover constituent polymers in a multilayer plastic film or mixed plastic waste.Marvin Kusenberg et al., “Towards high-quality petrochemical feedstocks from mixed plastic packaging waste via advanced recycling: The past, present and future”, Fuel Processing Technology, Elsevier BV, NL, vol. 238, 6 September 2022, is an overview relating to recycling methods for plastic waste via pyrolysis.Therefore, it was an object of the present invention to provide an improved process for recycling solid automotive waste material W, in particular automotive shredder residue (ASR), which permits to obtain high valued pyrolysis oils or extrudates, those being able to produce highly-valuable products with virgin-like properties. Indeed, it was an object to develop a process for improving sustainability of the recycling processes in the automotive industry.Therefore, the present invention relates to a process for recycling a solid automotive waste material W comprising a polyolefin-based solid mixture M(o) and / or a rubber-based solid mixture M(r), the process comprising(i) providing the solid automotive waste material W comprising the polyolefin-based solid mixture M(o) and / or the rubber-based solid mixture M(r), wherein M(o) comprises, in addition to polyolefin, one or more fillers F, wherein M(r) comprises, in addition to rubber, one or more fillers F, wherein F is inert to the dissolution treatment according to (ii.1 ), and wherein the polyolefin and / or the rubber is not inert to the dissolution treatment;(ii) separating F from the polyolefin and / or the rubber comprised in W provided according to (i), comprising(11.1) subjecting W to a dissolution treatment in presence of a solvent SD, obtaining a mixture M1 comprising F and further comprising the polyolefin dissolved in SD and / or the rubber dissolved in SD;(11.2) passing M1 obtained according to (ii.2) in a solid-liquid separation unit SU, obtaining a mixture M(A) comprising the one or more fillers F and a mixture M2 depleted in F compared to M1 comprising the polyolefin dissolved in SD and / or the rubber dissolved in SD;(iii) subjecting M2 comprising the polyolefin dissolved in SD and / or the rubber dissolved in SD obtained according to (ii.2) to precipitation conditions, obtaining a solid mixture M3 comprising the precipitated polyolefin and / or the precipitated rubber;(iv) subjecting the solid mixture M3 obtained according to (iii) to a mechanical and / or thermal treatment, the mechanical and / or thermal treatment being selected from the group consisting of pyrolysis, extrusion and melt extrusion, obtaining a recycled material r-M.Step (I)Preferably the solid automotive waste material W is obtained from end-of-life vehicles, more preferably the solid waste material W is an automotive shredder residue ASR.The automotive shredder residue may be obtainable, preferably is obtained, by shredding vehicles. Preferably, the automotive shredder residue is obtainable by depollution of the vehicles, dismantling the vehicles, shredding the vehicles, and separating metal particles from the shredded vehicles.The vehicles are typically end-of-life vehicles (also called “ELV”), which are typically at least 15 years old. The vehicles can be passenger cars, light-duty or heavy-duty trucks, motorbikes, a utility vehicle, an agricultural vehicle, or recreational vehicles. The vehicle can be an electric vehicle, such as a fully electric vehicle or a hybrid electric vehicle.In depollution of vehicles hazardous liquids such as fuel, lubricating oil, coolants, brake fluids and batteries can be removed from the vehicles prior to shredding.The dismantling of vehicles may comprise selective removal of parts, such as engines, gearboxes, tires, glass, and plastics, for being reused as spare parts for the second-hand market. The dismantling may also comprise the removal of larger plastic components, such as bumpers, dashboard, fluid containers for recycling the plastics separately.The ASR may comprise further waste from other sources. For examples, garbage from the last owners may remain in the trunk or interior of the vehicles. The advantage of the present process is that it can handle broadly varying compositions of the ASR.The shredding can be made with a vehicle shredder machine. Vehicle shredder machines are manufactured in different sizes. Typically, a vehicle shredder machine comprises a heavy fast-turning rotor, which may revolve in a vertical or a horizontal plane and is often equipped with swinging hammers. The vehicle shredder machine tears and shreds the car hulk until its parts are reduced to fragments with a desired fragment size, such as up to 30 cm, preferably 1 mm to 15 cm. Then the fragments may pass through grids and leave the rotor housing.After shredding, the metal fragments such as ferrous and non-ferrous metal fragments can be separated from the shredded vehicles. The ferrous metal fragments can be removed by magnetic separators. The non-ferrous metalfragments can be separated from the shredded vehicles by eddy current separators, by heavy media sink / float units which separate on the basis of density, or by manual sorting. Typically, 60 - 90 wt.-% of the vehicle weight is metal, which can be separated from the shredded vehicle.The automotive shredder residue may represent about 10 - 40 wt.-%, preferably from 15 - 35, and in particular from 20 - 30 wt.-% of the original vehicle weight.The automotive shredder residue may comprise fragments of various polymeric vehicle parts, such as fragments of bumpers, interior panels, dashboard, cable insulation, fuel tank, electrical insulation, flexible foam seating, foam insulation panels, automotive suspension bushings, electrical potting compounds, car body parts, pillar coverings, spoilers polymer parts coated with automotive paint, wheel covers, gears, bushes, cams, bearings, weatherproof coatings, interior and exterior trims, fuel systems, gear housings, headlamp retainer, engine cover, connector housings, door handles, carburetor components, exterior mirror components, windscreen wiper components, windscreen wiper protective housings, decorative grilles, cover strips, roof rails, window frames, sliding roof frames, antenna cladding covers, front and rear lights, radiator grill and body exterior parts, engine covers, cylinder head covers, intake pipes, cylinder head covers, engine covers, housings for charge air coolers, charge air cooler valves.The automotive shredder residue may comprise fragments of various polymeric vehicle parts, such as fragments of- bumpers, interior panels, dashboard, cable insulation, where these fragments are often made of polypropylene;- fuel tank, electrical insulation, where these fragments are often made of polyethylene;- flexible foam seating, foam insulation panels, automotive suspension bushings, electrical potting compounds, hard plastic parts, transmission mounts, motor mounts, seals, impact foam parts, where these fragments are often made of polyurethane;- body parts, dashboards, wheel covers, where these fragments are often made of aery lonitri le-butadiene-styrene;- gears, bushes, cams, bearings, charge air coolers, cylinder head covers, oil pans, engine cooling systems, thermostat and heater housings, exhaust systems including mufflers and housings for catalytic converters, air intake manifolds, timing chain belt front covers, where these fragments are often made of nylon 6 or nylon 6.6.;- interior and exterior trims, fuel systems, small gears, where these fragments are often made of polyoxymethylene;- wiper arm and gear housings, headlamp retainer, connector housings, where these fragments are often made of polyethylene terephthalate; and- door handles, bumpers, carburetor components, where these fragments are often made of polybutylene terephthalate.The automotive shredder residue may comprise at least 30 wt.-%, preferably at least 40 wt-%, and in particular at least 50 wt.-% of the fragments of the polymeric vehicle parts.The automotive shredder residue may comprise at least 20 wt.-%, preferably at least 30 wt-%, and in particular at least 40 wt,-% of the fragments of the polymeric vehicle parts, which are black polymeric vehicle parts.
