CONVERSION WASTE PLASTIC WITH TYRE INTO ACTIVATED CARBON AND INDUSTRIAL FUEL
[EIRI/EDPR/1444] J.C.226
INTRODUCTION
The disposal of plastic waste and used tyre by land filling is becoming an increasingly serious problem from a environmental and economic stand point, a better solution is to reprocess tire into valuable products such as activated carbon other solid carbon form (e.g. carbon black) and liquid and gaseous fuel.
A process design is proposed which involves pyrolysis of plastic waste and used tires, activation of the solid residue, partial combustion of liquid to produce carbon black and the use of high BTU gas for process heat. The activation of the solid residue is done using CO2 which produces CO and activated carbon.
The CO2 is regenerated and the lost carbon is recovered using the boudouard reaction to produce CO2 and finely divided carbons. The latter material may be used as a substitute for carbon black.
For many years, various methods are tried and tested for processing of waste plastic. The plastic materials are recycled and low value products are prepared. Plastic materials which cannot be recycled are usually dumped into undesirable landfill.
Worldwide almost 20% of the waste stream is plastic, most of which still ends up in landfill or at worst it is incinerated. This is a terrible waste of a valuable resource containing a high level of latent energy.
In recent year this practice has become less and less desirable due to opposition from Government and environmentally conscious community groups. The value of plastics going to landfill is showing a marginal reduction despite extensive community awareness and education programs.
Research Centre for Fuel Generation (RCFG) has conducted successful 300 successful pilot trials and commercial trials for conversion of waste plastic materials into high grade industrial fuel. The system uses liquefaction, pyrolysis and the catalytic breakdown of plastic materials and conversion into industrial fuel and gases. The system can handle the majority of plastic materials that are currently being sent to landfill or which have a low recycle value.
