Mixed plastic waste (MPW) with a limited chlorine (i.e., PVC) content ... [Pg.4]

Concerning feedstock recycling of mixed plastic waste (MPW) with a low chlorine content, the following initiatives seem to be most promising. They are either operating in practice, have operated in the past, or have a fair chance of becoming operational in the short-term. Methods include ... [Pg.5]

From the description above it already can be deduced that this plant can deal with a lot of waste types and hence is rather robust in terms of acceptance criteria. S VZ has experience with treating mixed plastics waste, waste derived fuel (a mixture of plastics, wood and paper), the shredder light fraction of car wrecks, and the plastic fraction from shredded white goods and electronics. SVZ can handle on average 2% chlorine in MPW, with short-term excursions to 6%. The overall chlorine content has to be controlled by a right blend with other waste types. SVZ does not favour a high... [Pg.12]

Note MPW is Mixed Plastic Waste MSW ca is municipal solid waste and comparable material Typical capacities considered are 50 ktpa to 200 tpa Theoretical potential if most blast furnaces and cement kilns in the EU start to replace regular fossil resources by MPW ... [Pg.23]

The thermal cracking of a light ffaction of mixed plastics waste was carried out in a fluidised bed reactor and the fractions obtained were analysed by elemental analysis, gas chromatography and ashing. The main components of the waste were PE and PP with a small amount of PS and the bed was fluidised by pyrolysis gas, nitrogen or preheated steam. Experiments conducted at different temperatures and residence times were compared by calculating the crack severity for each experiment. The results obtained revealed that the amounts of ethene and propene obtained by pyrolysis with steam were comparable with those obtained using a commercial steam cracker. [Pg.42]

Feedstock recycling is examined as a method of plastics recovery. The range of techno logics currently employed are described, and include pyrolysis, hydrogenation, gasification, and chemolysis. Methods for the recycling of mixed plastics wastes are discussed, which include work by BP Chemicals, VEBA Oil, Shell Chemicals and Leunawerke. [Pg.76]

The use of mixed plastics waste as fuel for steel furnaces is briefly examined as NKK Corp., the second largest steelmaker in Japan plans to use about 66 million pounds of it. According to the company s test data, 440 pounds... [Pg.78]

An account is given of the chemical recycling activities of BASF in a pilot plant at Ludwigshafen in Germany, where mixed plastics waste is processed to obtain hydrochloric acid, oil, gas, naphtha, aromatics and alpha-olefins. [Pg.86]

Test results are presented and discussed following trials in which energy recovery of mixed plastics domestic waste and municipal solid waste was carried out by means of co-combustion. The research also involved the collection of data relating to emissions, and the levels of halogens, dioxins and furans and heavy metals within the mixed plastics waste. [Pg.87]

The BP-led feedstock recycling consortium recently unveiled its new larger-scale fluidised bed pyrolysis pilot plant, located on the BP refinery site at Grangemouth. The 2 tonne/day plant will take mixed plastics waste from a variety of sources to provide more extensive trial results, to be used in the conceptual design of a 25,000 t/y semicommercial demonstration plant. The consortium envisages a series of plants, of around 25,000-50,000 t/y, scattered across Europe. [Pg.92]

Current methods of feedstock recovery are reviewed. Brief details are given of pyrolysis, hydrogenation, gasification, and chemolysis. Activities of some European companies are briefly discussed in the areas of recycling mixed plastics waste and closed-loop recycling. [Pg.104]

Mixed plastics waste appears to be well suited for use in energy recovery, either as a co-eombustion fuel in a power plant designed for solid fuels, or as the sole fuel in speeially designed plants. This paper reports test results on the co-combustion of mixed household plasties with eoal. The tests were performed in a bubbling fluidised bed low-pressure steam boiler. The results show that both inorganic and organic total specific emissions were lower for mixed household plasties than for coal. Tabulated data are presented. 3 refs. [Pg.106]
