Copyrolysis of naphtha with polyalkene cracking products; the influence of polyalkene mixtures composition on product distribution

Purification and characterisation of post-consumer plastic pyrolysis oil fractionated by vacuum distillation

“…Furthermore, the high yields of middle fractions can be explained by the higher carbon number C10-C21 compared to fossil naphtha C4-C9 (Kusenberg et al, 2022b;Kusenberg et al, 2022c). Long-chain molecules crack easier hence, a higher conversion is achieved at lower temperatures for middle fractions, also discussed by Hájeková et al (2007)…”

“…A large percentage of olefins are undesirable as reactive double bonds in the presence of oxygen and chlorine result in gum formation and corrosion (Gary et al, 2007;George Wypych, 2015). Olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics are major drivers for fouling in steam cracking (Hájeková et al, 2007;Gary et al, 2007;Kopinke et al, 1993b;Kopinke et al, 1993a). Therefore, upgrading technology such as hydrotreatment or blending with fossil-based fractions is required (Zacher et al, 2014;Kusenberg et al, 2022c).…”

High Olefin Yield in Pyrolysis of Heavier Hydrocarbon Liquids Using Microwave as Heat Supplier

“…Kirkwood et al 31 realized polymer cracking by connecting a fluidized bed reactor and a steam cracker. Hajekova et al 32 and Mlynkova et al 33 focused their studies on the co-pyrolysis of polyolefin cracking products with petroleum fractions.…”

Thermal degradation of heavy pyrolytic oil in a batch and continuous reaction system

“…Plastic waste mainly consists of thermoplastic materials of various plastic types [1,2]. These are mainly hydrocarbon in nature and therefore can be used as a raw material for chemical companies [3][4][5]. Among available recycling methods, thermal treatments are important alternatives to the disposal of mixed plastic wastes.…”

“…However, due to its low quality, the oil produced by pyrolysis of plastic waste is less attractive than petroleum [14]. Thus, to overcome such problems, the upgrading of heavy pyrolytic oil into a light hydrocarbon with high quality is required [3,15,16].…”
