Preparation of PE wax by pyrolysis of LLDPE waste plastic in a pressure reactor under low temperature
The thermal pyrolysis of liner low density polyethylene (LLDPE) has been carried out in a closed pressure reactor. The effects of pyrolysis temperature
residence time and reactor pressure on the yield
molecular weight and melting point of the products were investigated. The characterization of the products has been carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results indicate that the PE wax obtained under the conditions of residence time of 15—60 min and pyrolysis temperature of ~260℃ exhibited better performance
with the melting point above 100℃ and the molecular weight of between 1400 and 4700. The FTIR show that the main components are linear alkanes and olefins. According to the kinetic analysis
since the closed reaction system increased the reaction pressure
the pyrolysis temperature and activation energy were reduced
the LLDPE cracking reaction was promoted
and the generation of gas molecule was suppressed
which facilitated the formation of PE wax.
