Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé de traitement de déchets de polyéthylène ou autres polyoléfines préalable à leur craquage thermique ultérieur. The present invention relates to a process for treating waste polyethylene or other polyolefins prior to their subsequent thermal cracking.
Ce procédé s'inspire du brevet français N 02 133 34 qui revendique l'immersion des déchets dans un solvant à chaud du polyéthylène pour pouvoir les craquer ultérieurement directement en phase liquide et pour en chasser l'air avant leur craquage ultérieur. Il revendique également l'introduction des déchets en continu dans une chambre de fusion par un tube d'alimentation dans lequel ils avancent sous l'effet de la poussée d'un piston mu par un dispositif quelconque connu de la technique. This process is based on the French patent N 02 133 34 which claims the immersion of the waste in a hot solvent polyethylene to be able to crack later directly in the liquid phase and to expel the air before their subsequent cracking. It also claims the introduction of waste continuously in a melting chamber by a feed tube in which they advance under the effect of the push of a piston mu by any device known in the art.
Depuis la découverte du polyéthylène au cours de la décennie 1920 on sait que sa décomposition thermique conduit à des hydrocarbures principalement oc-oléfiniques. Le craquage thermique à basse sévérité du polyéthylène ou des polyoléfines en général, quels qu'en soient les types, conduit à l'obtention d'hydrocarbures surtout aliphatiques, liquides ou gazeux à l'ambiance. Since the discovery of polyethylene during the 1920s it is known that its thermal decomposition leads to hydrocarbons mainly oc-olefinic. The low-temperature thermal cracking of polyethylene or polyolefins in general, whatever the types, leads to the production of hydrocarbons, especially aliphatic, liquid or gaseous in the atmosphere.
La présente invention est pour sa part destinée à traiter des déchets "tout venant" d'ouvrages en polyoléfines, même très humides et parfois très chargés de matières inertes ou dont la décomposition est peu gênante au cours du craquage, et en particulier les déchets "tout venant" de serres, paillages et tunnels en polyoléfines utilisés dans l'agriculture, souillés de terre humide et de débris végétaux, les sacheries usagées, les emballages creux (vides) ou encore les déchets ménagers grossièrement triés de films, flacons (vides) et emballages divers, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de procéder à un nettoyage préalable. Plusieurs types de polyoléfines peuvent être présents ensembles et mélangés sans inconvénient car le craquage auxquels elles sont destinées fournira quel que soit leur type des hydrocarbures de types voisins tels que des d'oc- oléfines techniques, produits de grande valeur pour la synthèse oxo, mais qui constituent aussi un excellent combustible analogue au fuel domestique pour les plus lourdes ou des solvants de qualités supérieures à celle des solvants aliphatiques usuels du type du white-spirit pour les fractions légères. L'absence totale de soufre est un atout supplémentaire. The present invention is for its part intended to treat "all-in" waste polyolefin articles, even very wet and sometimes heavily loaded with inert materials or whose decomposition is not very troublesome during cracking, and in particular waste " all from "greenhouses, mulches and tunnels made of polyolefins used in agriculture, soiled with moist soil and plant debris, used bags, empty packaging (empty) or household waste roughly sorted films, bottles (empty) and miscellaneous packaging, without the need for prior cleaning. Several types of polyolefins may be present together and mixed without inconvenience because the cracking for which they are intended will provide whatever their type of hydrocarbons of similar types such as oc-olefins techniques, products of great value for oxo synthesis, but which also constitute an excellent fuel analogous to domestic fuel for heavier or solvents of higher quality than the usual aliphatic solvents of the type of white spirit for light fractions. The total absence of sulfur is an additional asset.
Une des difficultés du craquage des polyoléfines réside dans l'existence de quantité très importante d'air occlus dans les déchets lors de leur introduction dans la chambre de craquage, air qui tend à oxyder les produits de la pyrolyse en produisant des goudrons indésirables et en accroissant le taux de coke formé lors du craquage. One of the difficulties in cracking polyolefins is the existence of a very large quantity of air occluded in the waste when it is introduced into the cracking chamber, which tends to oxidize the products of the pyrolysis by producing undesirable tars and increasing the rate of coke formed during cracking.
Le procédé par immersion préalable des déchets dans un solvant (à chaud) du polyéthylène décrit dans le brevet N 02 133 34 (solvant qui se vaporise partiellement ensuite au cours du craquage) prévient cet inconvénient mais entraîne une certaine consommation et un craquage indésirable des solvants utilisés. The process by pre-immersion of the waste in a (hot) solvent of the polyethylene described in the patent N 02 133 34 (solvent which partially evaporates subsequently during cracking) prevents this disadvantage but leads to a certain consumption and an undesirable cracking of the solvents used.
Le procédé précédent par immersion consiste à immerger d'abord les déchets dans du kérosène ou du fuel, puis à exprimer au maximum l'excès de ces solvants par compression dans un tube perforé avant de les repousser dans une chambre chauffée jusqu'à ce qu'ils entrent en fusion. The preceding process by immersion consists of first immersing the waste in kerosene or fuel oil, then expressing the excess of these solvents by compression in a perforated tube before pushing them back into a heated chamber until they are melting.
La présente invention reprend en partie cette technique, mais en substituant l'eau aux solvants lourds exigés par l'invention précédente, ce qui permet tout aussi bien d'éliminer l'air occlus que l'immersion dans un solvant lourd sans en avoir les sujétions car l'eau est plus facile à manipuler et surtout moins onéreuse. Mais d'autre part l'eau ainsi introduite a, lors du craquage ultérieur, un comportement et des effets très différents de ceux des solvants lourds qui étaient préconisés pour leur capacité à dissoudre à chaud le polyéthylène. L'eau ne dissout pas le polyéthylène mais la vaporisation in situ de la faible quantité d'eau résiduelle restant dans les déchets (après en avoir éliminé l'excédant par compression et n'en avoir laissé que le minimum possible) lors du chauffage nécessaire au craquage ultérieur, provoque un effet de vapocraquage avec tous les avantages que cela entraîne sans nécessiter un matériel lourd de production de vapeur surchauffée. The present invention partially takes up this technique, but substituting water for the heavy solvents required by the preceding invention, which allows both the removal of occluded air and the immersion in a heavy solvent without having the because the water is easier to handle and especially less expensive. But on the other hand the water thus introduced has, during the subsequent cracking behavior and effects very different from those of heavy solvents which were recommended for their ability to dissolve polyethylene hot. The water does not dissolve the polyethylene but the in situ vaporization of the small amount of residual water remaining in the waste (after having eliminated the excess by compression and leaving only the minimum possible) during the necessary heating subsequent cracking, causes a steam cracking effect with all the benefits that entails without requiring heavy equipment for producing superheated steam.
Selon le procédé par immersion du brevet N 0213334, les déchets sont comprimés par un moyen connu pour les forcer à entrer dans la chambre de fusion, et cette compression dans le tube d'alimentation a pour effet d'expulser l'excédant des solvants qui imprègnent les déchets par des orifices percés dans la première partie du tube d'alimentation tout en retenant les déchets. D'autre part, ce même brevet revendique la formation d'un bouchon de déchets comprimés dans la partie du tube d'alimentation débouchant dans la chambre de fusion des déchets, bouchon qui se reconstitue en permanence par arrivée de nouveaux déchets comprimés. According to the dip method of the patent N 0213334, the waste is compressed by a known means to force them into the melting chamber, and this compression in the feed tube has the effect of expelling the excess solvents which impregnate the waste through holes drilled in the first part of the feed tube while retaining the waste. On the other hand, this same patent claims the formation of a plug of compressed waste in the portion of the feed tube opening into the waste melting chamber, which plug is permanently reconstituted by arrival of new compressed waste.
Cette technique sera également reprise intégralement dans la présente invention, cependant les déchets comprimés ne déboucheront plus dans une chambre de fusion mais directement dans une enceinte où ils subiront un craquage par tout moyen connu de la technique. This technique will also be fully adopted in the present invention, however the compressed waste will no longer lead into a melting chamber but directly into a chamber where they will be cracked by any means known in the art.
