A process for upgrading a pyrolysis oil comprising treating the pyrolysis oil with an upgrading solution to provide a mixture comprising an extract phase and a raffinate phase, wherein the upgrading solution comprises a polar organic solvent, and wherein the pyrolysis oil is a derived from the pyrolysis of plastic or rubber, or a combination thereof, and an upgraded pyrolysis oil prepared by said process.

A pyrolysis method and a pyrolysis reactor for thermal decomposition of polymer waste materials, particularly rubber and plastics waste materials, using a fast pyrolysis process, are disclosed. The waste material is delivered to a pyrolytic chamber, and is heated to a decomposition temperature of the waste material by microwave radiation.

This invention relates to a rotary kiln (1) for cracking open and evaporating size-reduced plastic waste, consisting of a cylindrical kiln housing (2) the wall of which can be heated to the respective evaporation temperature. The kiln housing (2) is bearing mounted so as to be rotatable around a longitudinal axis (X-X). Within the kiln housing (2) a fixedly positioned feed device (5) for the size-reduced plastic waste is placed running in the longitudinal direction of the kiln housing. The feed device (5) at least one-sidedly protrudes with a loading section (6) through a feed opening at an end side of the kiln housing (2), which loading section (6) can be connected to a material feed device (7). At the end side situated opposite the feed opening a gas suction opening (20) is situated in the kiln housing (2). The feed device comprises a conveyor device (5) and a conveyor tube (8), extending along the full length of the kiln housing (2), in which the conveyor device (5) for the size-reduced plastic waste is arranged in such a way that the plastic waste is moved from the loading section (6) in longitudinal direction through the kiln housing (2). The conveyor tube (8) has an outer sleeve (10) configured such that in the interior of the conveyor tube (8) an operational temperature prevails that is below the melting temperature of the size-reduced plastic material. Outlet openings (16, 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e) for the size-reduced plastic material are positioned such in the conveyor tube (8) including the sleeve (10) that the size-reduced plastic material drops out of the outlet openings (16, 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e) directly onto the opposite interior side of the kiln housing (2).

A continuous reflux reactor and controlled condenser system for thermochemical treatment of plastic and/or elastomeric waste has five zones with different complements. The zones comprises the bottom zone, pyrolysis zone, meeting zone, reflux zone and extraction zone. The reactor uses a reflux zone to increase the production of a light oil in the process. The reflux zone is equipped with some studded tubes that enhances the contact area. Cold molten salt is used as the cooling element of this step. The pyrolysis zone, where the material will be pyrolyzed, has the differential of being equipped with molten salt coils using hot molten salt as the heating element. After the material passes to all zones, the material goes to a cyclone that will condense heavier hydrocarbons present in this step and send the light hydrocarbons to the condensers.

A process for pyrolysis of a mixed plastic stream that contains polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is provided in which the chloride from PVC is removed from an initial melting reactor that heats the mixed plastic stream to a sufficient temperature to produce HCl but at a low enough temperature to avoid production of organochlorides. Chloride is primarily removed in a vapor stream from the initial melting reactor, while additional chloride removal may be removed downstream from the melting reactor by the use of sorbent addition to the pyrolysis reactor and by subsequent adsorbent beds.
