Applications, pyrolysis

The subjeet of fluidization and researeh and development in this field, probably reaehed its peak in the early 1980 s with extensive work being applied by the petroleum industry in synthetie fuels development sueh as shale oil, eoal gasifieation, pyrolysis applications. Prior to this, significant development work was done in the petroleum industry for flexieraeking and flexieoking operations. Fluidization still remains an area of aetive researeh and industry development, and the teehnology is well established in a variety of industry seetors.

Following the identification of CNTs [4,3] and the optimized synthesis methods including arc discharge and catalytic pyrolysis, applications were sought for these structures. However, CNTs exhibit characteristic properties, for example, low dispersibility, that limit their processability and thus their applications in composite fabrication. 

The gases used in C/ C measurements are CO2 and recently CO during pyrolysis applications. For CO2 the following preparation methods exist ...

Different types of reactors are utilized for a wide variety of pyrolysis applications, including processing of waste plastics. The worldwide waste plastic pyrolysis systems utilize the fixed-bed designs of vertical shaft reactors and dual fluidized-bed, rotary kiln and multiple hearth reactor systems. The type of reactor used is chiefly based on material to be pyrolyzed and expected products from the pyrolysis. Stainless steel shaking type batch autoclave and stainless steel micro tubular reactors have also been used extensively [14]. Fluidized-bed reactors have been extensively used in producing raw petrochemicals from the pyrolysis of waste plastics [22, 24].

Voorhees et al. described an environmental application that is not a pyrolysis application per se, but rather an environmental application of pyrolysis equipment that seemed too clever not to mention here.

Units range from 6 to 25 ft in diameter and from 12 to 75 ft in height. The diameter and number of hearths are dependent on the feed, the required processing time, and the type of thermal processing employed. Generally, the uppermost hearth is used as the SCC. Normal incineration usually requires a minimum of six hearths, while pyrolysis applications require a greater number.

Laser desorption is commonly used for pyrolysis/mass spectrometry, in which small samples are heated very rapidly to high temperatures to vaporize them before they are ionized. In this application of lasers, very small samples are used, and the intention is not simply to vaporize intact molecules but also to cause characteristic degradation. 

As a result of the development of electronic applications for NF, higher purities of NF have been required, and considerable work has been done to improve the existing manufacturing and purification processes (29). N2F2 is removed by pyrolysis over heated metal (30) or metal fluoride (31). This purification step is carried out at temperatures between 200—300°C which is below the temperature at which NF is converted to N2F4. Moisture, N2O, and CO2 are removed by adsorption on 2eohtes (29,32). The removal of CF from NF, a particularly difficult separation owing to the similar physical and chemical properties of these two compounds, has been described (33,34).

After brief discussion of the state-of-the-art of modern Py-GC/MS, some most recent applications for stixictural and compositional chai acterization of polymeric materials are described in detail. These include microstixictural studies on sequence distributions of copolymers, stereoregularity and end group chai acterization for various vinyl-type polymers such as polystyrene and polymethyl methacrylate by use of conventional analytical pyrolysis.

The quadrupole mass spectrometer has been found to be particularly suitable for EGA in thermal analysis. Published reports include descriptions of the various systems used [153—155] and applications in studies of the pyrolysis of polymers [155], minerals [156] and many inorganic solids [157—159]. 

Iron has been deposited by the hydrogen reduction of its chloride at 650°C or the pyrolysis of its iodide at 1100°C, as well as the decomposition of its carbonyl at 370-450°C with CO as carrier gas. Carbon tends to be incorporated in the deposit requiring a 900°C annealing in H2 to remove it.PH l A potential application is epitaxial films on GaAs. 

The application of a selective pyrolysis process to the recovery of chemicals from waste PU foam is described. The reaction conditions are controlled so that target products can be collected directly from the waste stream in high yields. Molecular beam mass spectrometry is used in small-scale experiments to analyse the reaction products in real time, enabling the effects of process parameters such as temperature, catalysts and co-reagents to be quickly screened. Fixed bed and fluidised bed reactors are used to provide products for conventional chemical analysis to determine material balances and to test the concept under larger scale conditions. Results are presented for the recycling of PU foams from vehicle seats and refrigerators. 12 refs.
