A recycle content oxo glycol and method of making a recycle content oxo glycol wherein the recycle content is derived directly or indirectly from the cracking of recycle content pyrolysis oil and/or gas. The cracking of the pyrolysis oil can be conducted in a gas furnace or a split furnace.

Provided are systems and related methods for processing organic polymeric feed materials—such as plastics—to form pyrolysis oil. The disclosed systems can be operated in a continuous manner and utilize novel liquid-solid separation techniques integrated with a novel condensing approach so as to operate in a product-efficient and an energy-efficient manner.

Provided is a technology of converting an oil having a high content of Cl into a solvent. Impurities such as Cl, S, N, and metals are removed from an oil having a boiling point of 180 to 340° C. in a waste oil having a high content of Cl, and hydroisomerization is carried out, thereby applying an oil having a high isoparaffin ratio as a solvent. After a separation by boiling points according to the properties of the solvent product, a solid acid material and an oil having a high Cl content are mixed, impurities are removed by a heat treatment at a high temperature, and hydroisomerization is carried out by a noble metal/1-D zeolite catalyst, thereby, manufacturing a solvent product.

A process of producing a hydrocracking product in a slurry hydrocracking reactor. A pyrolysis oil, a hydrocarbon feedstock, and a hydrocracking catalyst is provided. The pyrolysis oil is combined with the hydrocarbon feedstock and the hydrocracking catalyst, the pyrolysis oil being maintained at a temperature of less than 100° C. until the pyrolysis oil contacts both the hydrocarbon feedstock and the hydrocracking catalyst. The hydrocarbon feedstock and the pyrolysis oil are hydrocracked in the slurry hydrocracking reactor in the presence of the hydrocracking catalyst and hydrogen gas. A fuel precursor obtainable by the process.

A method 10 for processing hydrocarbons for recycling includes the steps of: a) heating solid and/or liquid hydrocarbons in a chamber 16 in the absence of air, to convert at least some of the hydrocarbons into hydrocarbon gas; b) reacting the hydrocarbon gas in a reactor 20 or conduit with a catalyst 22 including a transition metal or transition metal salt, and a carbide, to break the hydrocarbon gas down into hydrocarbon products; and c) collecting the hydrocarbon products or conveying the hydrocarbon products elsewhere for use.

A recycle content propanol and method of making a recycle content propanol wherein the recycle content is derived directly or indirectly from the cracking of recycle content pyrolysis oil and/or gas. The cracking of the pyrolysis oil can be conducted in a gas furnace or a split furnace.

Provided is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polypropylene polymerization. The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene, and passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a naphtha/diesel fraction, a heavy fraction, and char. Pyrolysis oil and wax, comprising naphtha/diesel and heavy fractions, is passed to a refinery FCC unit. A liquid petroleum gas C.sub.3 olefin/paraffin mixture is recovered from the FCC unit. The C.sub.3 paraffins and C.sub.3 olefins are separated into different fractions with the C.sub.3 olefin fraction passed to a propylene polymerization reactor, and the C.sub.3 paraffin fraction passed optionally to a dehydrogenation unit to produce additional propylene.

A two-step process that includes a pyrolytic first step carried out in a mechanically or gravitationally impelled reactor and a catalytic fluid bed second step that upgrades the resulting vapor, for the conversion of waste plastics, polymers, and other waste materials to useful chemical and fuel products such as paraffins, olefins, and aromatics such as BTX is described.

Provided is a conversion process for an inferior oil, relating to the field of biomass utilization, energy and chemical industry. The conversion process is carried out in presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of an iron oxide compound, a desulfurization waste agent resulting from use of an iron oxide compound as desulfurizer, and a regeneration product of the desulfurization waste agent, under a controlled molar ratio of iron element to sulfur element. It is found that free radical condensation polymerization of inferior oil during cracking process can be blocked effectively by using carbonylation, and hydrogenation is achieved with active hydrogen produced from the conversion of CO and water. In the conversion process, inferior oil can be, directly converted, thereby increasing liquefaction yield and calorific value of the obtained oils. No large amount of waste water is generated after completion of the conversion.

Provided is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polyethylene polymerization or for normal alpha olefins. The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene and then passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a naphtha/diesel fraction, a heavy fraction, and char. The naphtha/diesel fraction is passed to a crude unit in a refinery from which is recovered a straight run naphtha fraction (C.sub.5-C.sub.8) or a propane/butane (C.sub.3-C.sub.4) fraction. The straight run naphtha fraction, or propane and butane (C.sub.3-C.sub.4) fraction, is passed to a steam cracker for ethylene production. The ethylene is converted to normal alpha olefin and/or polyethylene. Also, a heavy fraction from the pyrolysis reactor can be combined with a heavy fraction of normal alpha olefin stream recovered from the steam cracker. The combined heavy fraction and heavy fraction of normal alpha olefin stream can be passed to a wax hydrogenation zone to produce wax.
