Abstract

The increasing production of waste plastics poses significant environmental and health risks. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a major component of plastic waste, is a high-quality feedstock for pyrolysis due to its high carbon and hydrogen content. Traditional pyrolysis methods, such as thermal cracking and one-step catalytic pyrolysis, have limitations in yield and selectivity of valuable products like light olefins. This study introduces a two-stage catalytic pyrolysis (TSCP) process aimed at enhancing the production of light olefins from LDPE. In the first stage, LDPE undergoes pyrolysis with MCM-41 catalyst, yielding a substantial number of liquid products and a minor portion of light olefins. The second stage utilizes Mg-ZSM-5 catalyst to further crack the high-temperature volatile matter into light olefins. The optimal conditions identified were 450 °C in the first stage and 500 °C in the second stage, achieving a maximum light olefin yield of 45.80 wt% and a low reaction temperature, decreasing the energy consumption. Additionally, the MCM-41 catalyst demonstrates excellent regeneration performance, with only a slight decrease in liquid yield after nine cycles. The Mg-ZSM-5 catalyst maintains high stability, with light olefin yield remaining at 83.60 % of the initial yield after 48 h of operation.

从低密度聚乙烯热解中提高轻烯烃产量:两阶段催化工艺
废塑料产量的不断增加给环境和健康带来了巨大风险。低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)是塑料废弃物的主要成分,由于其碳和氢含量高,是热解的优质原料。传统的热解方法(如热裂解和一步催化热解)在轻烯烃等有价值产品的产量和选择性方面存在局限性。本研究介绍了一种两阶段催化热解(TSCP)工艺,旨在提高低密度聚乙烯轻烯烃的产量。在第一阶段,低密度聚乙烯在 MCM-41 催化剂的作用下进行热解,产生大量液体产品和少量轻质烯烃。第二阶段使用 Mg-ZSM-5 催化剂将高温挥发物进一步裂解为轻质烯烃。确定的最佳条件为第一阶段 450 °C,第二阶段 500 °C,轻烯烃产量最高可达 45.80 wt%,且反应温度较低,降低了能耗。此外,MCM-41 催化剂的再生性能极佳,九次循环后液体产率仅略有下降。Mg-ZSM-5 催化剂保持了较高的稳定性,在运行 48 小时后,轻烯烃产量仍为初始产量的 83.60%。
