Introduction The circular economy paradigm offers an attractive path toward sustainability since it creates value and growth in ways that benefit customers, businesses, society, and the environment. It is a systems solution framework based on three principles: eliminate waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and compensate for natural systems exploitation. In this direction, in the last decades, there has been a vast development towards the treatment and recovery of plastic materials. Among all these emerging alternatives, pyrolysis has proven to be very promising from several points of view for the upcycling of plastic waste (Pacheco-López et al., 2022). Despite its economic and environmental benefits, pyrolysis is an energy-demanding process (above 2MJ per kg of plastic waste), and combustion is one of the most economical energy-supply alternatives due to the higher cost of other energy sources (such as electric power). In consequence, even though the entire process might be environmentally favorable, there is still a considerable amount of carbon dioxide emissions (around 150g of CO2 per kg of plastic waste). To promote a carbon neutral, or even carbon negative, process, the coupling of carbon capture technologies and pyrolysis arises as a suitable solution to improve the process from the environmental perspective. Currently, several alternatives are available for CO2 separation including capture from post-combustion, pre-combustion, oxycombustion, chemical looping combustion, as well as ambient air capture. The most commercially available and mature post-combustion capture process is chemical absorption, usually with aqueous amine solutions. Among them, monoethanolamine (MEA) has good CO2 transfer rates, has a low price, and is biodegradable. However, it may suffer from toxicity and solvent losses due to evaporation and degradation; additionally, at higher concentrations, the MEA solution is highly corrosive to the equipment. Therefore finding alternative CO2 absorbents is an arising challenge (Wang and Song, 2020). The captured CO2 is usually stored, but it can be utilized to synthesize valuable chemicals (i.e., CCU or carbon capture and utilization) such as carbon monoxide, formic acid, methane, methanol, ethanol, or ethylene via electroreduction. However, these technologies are currently underdeveloped, and it is hard to predict their performance at an industrial scale (Somoza-Tornos et al., 2021).
循环经济模式为可持续发展提供了一条有吸引力的道路,因为它以有利于客户、企业、社会和环境的方式创造价值和增长。这是一个基于三个原则的系统解决方案框架:消除浪费和污染,保持产品和材料的使用,并补偿自然系统的开发。在这个方向上,在过去的几十年里,塑料材料的处理和回收已经有了巨大的发展。在所有这些新兴的替代方案中,从塑料废物升级回收的几个角度来看,热解被证明是非常有前途的(Pacheco-López et al., 2022)。尽管热解具有经济和环境效益,但它是一个耗能的过程(每公斤塑料废物超过2MJ),而燃烧是最经济的能源供应替代方案之一,因为其他能源(如电力)的成本较高。因此,尽管整个过程可能对环境有利,但仍有相当数量的二氧化碳排放(每公斤塑料废物约150克二氧化碳)。为了促进碳中和甚至碳负的过程,碳捕获技术和热解的耦合从环境的角度改进了这一过程,这是一个合适的解决方案。目前,有几种可用于CO2分离的替代方法,包括燃烧后捕获、燃烧前捕获、氧化燃烧、化学环燃烧以及环境空气捕获。商业上最可行和最成熟的燃烧后捕获方法是化学吸收,通常是用胺水溶液。其中,单乙醇胺(MEA)具有CO2转移率好、价格低、可生物降解等优点。然而,由于蒸发和降解,它可能遭受毒性和溶剂损失;此外,在较高浓度下,MEA溶液对设备具有很强的腐蚀性。因此,寻找替代的二氧化碳吸收剂是一个日益严峻的挑战(Wang and Song, 2020)。捕获的二氧化碳通常被储存起来,但它可以被用来合成有价值的化学品(即CCU或碳捕获和利用),如一氧化碳、甲酸、甲烷、甲醇、乙醇或乙烯通过电还原。然而,这些技术目前还不发达,很难预测它们在工业规模上的表现(Somoza-Tornos et al., 2021)。
