Abstract

The invention relates to a process for improving the pyrolytic conversion of waste selected from rubber and plastic to low molecular weight olefinic materials by employing basis salt catalysts in the waste mixture. The salts comprise alkali or alkaline earth compounds, particularly sodium carbonate, in an amount of greater than about 1 weight percent based on the waste feed.

Use of zinc and copper (I) salts to reduce sulfur and nitrogen impurities during the pyrolysis of plastic and rubber waste to hydrocarbons

Patent Wingfield, Jr., Robert C. ; Braslaw, Jacob ; Gealer, Roy L

An improvement in a process for the pyrolytic conversion of rubber and plastic waste to hydrocarbon products which results in reduced levels of nitrogen and sulfur impurities in these products. The improvement comprises pyrolyzing the waste in the presence of at least about 1 weight percent of salts, based on the weight of the waste, preferably chloride or carbonate salts, of zinc or copper (I). This invention was made under contract with or subcontract thereunder of the Department of Energy Contract #DE-AC02-78-ER10049.

Conversion of waste rubber to fuel and other useful products

Patent Larsen, J W

Heretofore waste rubber, a substantial amount of it in the form of used automobile tires, has been buried, burned, or otherwise disposed of in manners and by means totally inconsistent with good ecological practices and considerations. Now, such waste or scrap rubber, both natural and synthetic, can readily be converted in the presence of molten acidic halide Lewis salt catalysts to useful products, including fuels comprising a naptha-like oil, a burnable solid carbonaceous material, and a mixture of gases. The most promising salts are zinc chloride, tin chloride, and antimony iodide. Also, an extremely active catalyst can be prepared bymore »« less

Catalytic conversion of rubber wastes to produce aromatic hydrocarbons over USY zeolites: Effect of SiO ₂/Al ₂O ₃ mole ratio

Journal Article Wang, Jia ; Jiang, Jianchun ; Wang, Xiaobo ; ... - Energy Conversion and Management

Catalytic conversion of rubber wastes to produce an alternative fuel resource is a promising approach to dispose of solid wastes and address environmental issues. In this study, catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of rubber wastes over acidic zeolites was conducted, and the effect of SiO ₂/Al ₂O ₃ mole ratio of USY zeolites on the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons was explored. Experimental results indicated that alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons were the main pyrolytic products obtained from fast pyrolysis of rubber wastes, and the pyrolysis temperature played a vital role in the formation of aromatics with the highest concentration achieved at 750more »« less
