โœฆ Synopsis


Exploratory work was carried out to develop a process for conversion of mixed plastic wastes into liquid transportation fuels or petrochemicals. The concept used is based on thermal depolymerization of the polymers in a suitable solvent followed by catalytic conversion of the resulting polymeric fragments into hydrocarbons with boiling points below 525ยฐC. The process is carried out batch-wise over a zeolite catalyst at temperatures from 350ยฐC to 450ยฐC and at atmospheric pressure. No hydrogen is used and volatile products formed are continuously removed from the reactor. Tests were carried out on polyethylene and polypropylene alone, and on mixtures of the two. Finally, a synthetic mixture of four different plastics was tested. From 90% to 98% of the plastic was converted to gases or distillable hydrocarbons. Of this yield, from 20% to 55% was gas, primarily propylenes and butylenes, and from 32% to 70% was a light hydrocarbon oil. Very little non-distillable coke or residue was formed. The use of mixtures did not affect the high conversions obtained, but the results could only be approximately predicted based on a pro-rating of results for the individual components.

On a effectue un travail exploratoire afin de mettre au point un procede pour la conversion de dechets de plastique mixtes en des combustibles liquides pour vehicules ou en produits petrochimiques. Le concept employe s'appuie sur la depolymerisation thermique des polymeres dans un solvant adequat, suivie de la conversion catalytique des fragments polymeriques pour former des hydrocarbures avec des points d'ebullition inferieurs a 525ยฐC. Le procede est realise de faCon discontinue sur un catalyseur de zeolite a des temperatures variant entre 350ยฐC et 450ยฐC et a L a pression atmospherique. On n'a pas utilise d'hydrogene et les produits volatils formes sont cotninuellement retires du reacteur. Des tests ont ete menes sur du polyethylene et du polypropylene seuls, puis sur un melange des deux. Enfin, un melange synthetique de quatre plastiques differents a ete teste. De 90 a 98% du plastique a ete converti en gaz ou en hydrocarbures distillables. De ce rendement, entre 20 et 55% etait constitue de gaz, principalement des propylenes et des butylenes, et de 32 a 70% etait constitue d'huile d'hydrocarbures Iegere. Tres peu de coke ou residu non distillable ne s'est forme. L'utilisation des melanges n'a pas eu d'effet sur les conversions elevees obtenues, mais les resultats ne pouvaient &he predits qu'approximativement a partir des resultats individuels pour les differents composes.
