Continuous flow pyrolysis of virgin and waste polyolefins:a comparative study,process optimization and product characterization

Under optimal process conditions,pyrolysis of polyolefins can yield ca.90 wt%of liquid product,i.e.,combination of light oil fraction and heavier wax.In this work,the experimental findings reported in a selected group of publications concerning the non-catalytic pyrolysis of polyolefins were collected,reviewed,and compared with the ones obtained in a continuously operated bench-scale pyrolysis reactor.Optimized process parameters were used for the pyrolysis of waste and virgin counterparts of high-density polyethylene,low-density polyethylene,polypropylene and a defined mixture of those(i.e.,25:25:50 wt%,respectively).To mitigate temperature drops and enhance heat transfer,an increased feed intake is employed to create a hot melt plastic pool.With 1.5 g·min-1 feed intake,1.1 L.min-1 nitrogen flow rate,and a moderate pyrolysis temperature of 450 ℃,the formation of light hydrocarbons was favored,while wax formation was limited for polypropylene-rich mixtures.Pyrolysis of virgin plastics yielded more liquid(maximum 73.3 wt%)than that of waste plastics(maximum 66 wt%).Blending polyethylenes with polypropylene favored the production of liquids and increased the formation of gasoline-range hydrocarbons.Gas products were mainly composed of C3 hydrocarbons,and no hydrogen production was detected due to moderate pyrolysis temperature.
