The two-step catalytic pyrolysis (CP) of a phenolic-printed circuit board (PPCB) over in-situ natural clays (dolomite, bentonite, and olivine) and ex-situ HY(30, SiO2/Al2O3: 30) was investigated by tandem micro reactor-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The non-catalytic pyrolysis (NCP) of PPCB produced oxygenated, phosphorous, and brominated compounds due to the presence of paper, tetrabromo bisphenol A (TBBA), phosphorous flame retardants, and phenol resin in the PPCB. Among the natural clays, dolomite showed the highest debromination and aromatics formation efficiency during the in-situ CP of PPCB followed by bentonite and olivine owing to the different catalyst properties. Two-step CP of PPCB over in-situ natural clays and ex-situ HY (30) achieved higher efficiency on the formation of higher quality oil (mono-phenol and aromatic hydrocarbons) with a lower Br content than the one-step CP of PPCB. Among the two-step catalysts, the combination of in-situ dolomite and ex-situ HY(30) provided the highest quality oil production due to the high acidity and sufficiently large pore size of dolomite. Two-step CP of PPCB over in-situ dolomite and ex-situ HY(30) also revealed a longer lifetime than the one-step CP of PPCB over ex-situ HY(30), not only for the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons and mono-phenols, but also for debromination.

Gasification characteristics of waste plastics (SRF) in a bubbling fluidized bed: Effects of temperature and equivalence ratio

Si Woo Han, Jeong Jae Lee, Diyar Tokmurzin, Seok Hyeong Lee, Ji Young Nam, Sung Jin Park, Ho Won Ra, Tae-Young Mun, Sang Jun Yoon, Sung Min Yoon, Ji Hong Moon, Jae Goo Lee, Young-Min Kim, Young Woo Rhee, Myung Won Seo

Summary: The study investigated the air gasification properties of SRF with high content of residual mixed waste plastic in a lab scale bubbling fluidized bed gasifier. The results showed that gas yield increases and tar yield decreases as the operating temperature and air-to-fuel equivalence ratio (ER) increases, with changes in the concentration of various gases in the gas product. The H2/CO ratio increases with rising temperature and decreases with rising ER, while carbon conversion efficiency (CCE) and cold gas efficiency peak at 800 degrees C and ER of 0.25.

The temperature effect on the production of liquid and solid fuel via wood pellet torrefaction

Cheolwoo Park, Eun-Suk Jang, Young-Min Kim

Summary: The effects of temperature on the product quality of wood pellet torrefaction were studied. Increasing the torrefaction temperature resulted in a decrease in solid yield and an increase in gas and liquid yield due to the elimination and decomposition of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. The heating value of the wood pellets increased, but overall energy recovery efficiency decreased. The torrefied wood pellets exhibited improved hydrophobicity and decreased moisture absorption. Low-temperature torrefaction produced typical pyrolyzates of hemicellulose and cellulose, while high-temperature torrefaction increased the amount of lignin pyrolyzates and provided a potential tar reduction during gasification.

Synthesis of biofuel via catalytic fast pyrolysis of wood-plastic composite over low-cost catalysts

Hyeon Su Heo, Sumin Pyo, Bo Sung Kang, Jung Sul Jung, Gwang Hoon Rhee, Young-Min Kim, Ji Man Kim, Young-Kwon Park

Summary: In this study, the feasibility of low-cost catalysts (gamma-Al2O3, spent FCC catalyst, and natural zeolite) in the pyrolysis of wood-plastic composite (WPC) was evaluated using thermogravimetric and pyrolyzer-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analyses. The use of low-cost catalysts during catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) was found to decrease the decomposition temperature of polyethylene and polypropylene in WPC. Natural zeolite exhibited the lowest activation energy (Ea) of CFP, followed by spent FCC catalyst and gamma-Al2O3, respectively. Although CFP over natural zeolite was less effective in decreasing the production of low-quality hydrocarbons, paraffins, and olefins compared to spent FCC catalyst and gamma-Al2O3, it produced the largest amount of value-added aromatic hydrocarbons due to its high and strong acidity.
