Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は廃プラスチックを再資源化するための廃プラスチックの油化還元装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、廃プラスチック(高分子廃棄物)を加熱して熱分解した後、重油(A重油相当)に還元する油化還元装置は知られている。
【0003】
この種の油化還元装置は、ポリエチレン,ポリステロール,塩化ビニル等の固形の廃プラスチックを比較的低温となる250℃(塩化ビニルは70℃)前後で加熱する溶解槽により溶解させ、この後、400℃(塩化ビニルは170℃)前後の高温に加熱した熱分解槽によって溶解した廃プラスチックを熱分解させるとともに、気化した分解ガスを冷却して重油を得る。なお、固形の廃プラスチックを熱分解槽に直接投入した場合には、廃プラスチックが炭化し、還元効率が大きく低下するのみならず、炭化物の処理が大変となるため、溶解槽を設けることにより、最初に固形の廃プラスチックを溶解させている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上述した従来における廃プラスチックの油化還元装置は、次のような解決すべき課題が存在した。
【0005】
第一に、熱分解槽に加えて別途の溶解槽が必要になるため、装置全体の複雑化及び大型化、さらには大幅なコストアップを招くとともに、メンテナンス性においても著しく不利になる。
【0006】
第二に、廃プラスチックに対する処理速度が遅くなり、重油の生産性が低下するとともに、生産時の経済性に劣る。
【0007】
本発明はこのような従来の技術に存在する課題を解決したものであり、装置全体の単純化及び小型コンパクト化を実現し、大幅なコストダウンとメンテナンスの容易化を図るとともに、生産性及び経済性を飛躍的に高めることができる廃プラスチックの油化還元装置の提供を目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段及び実施の形態】
本発明は、廃プラスチックP…を加熱して熱分解させる熱分解槽2を備える廃プラスチックの油化還元装置1を構成するに際して、特に、上側に対して下側の幅が狭くなる形状の槽本体3と、この槽本体3の内部に、当該槽本体3の内面に沿って上下方向に所定間隔毎に配した複数の水平な加熱管4a…,4b…,4c…を設け、かつ上方に配した加熱管4a…の温度に対して下方に配した加熱管4c…の温度を低く設定した加熱機構5とを有する熱分解槽2を備えることを特徴とする。
【0009】
この場合、好適な実施の形態により、槽本体3は半円形の両端面3s,3tを有する半円筒形に形成することが望ましい。なお、下方に配した加熱管4c…の温度は、廃プラスチックP…を溶解させる温度に設定するとともに、上方に配した加熱管4a…の温度は、溶解した廃プラスチックLを熱分解させる温度に設定する。また、複数の加熱管4a…,4b…,4c…は一本の連続管6…をジグザグ状に折曲することによって形成される複数の直線部により構成し、最上部に配した加熱管4a…に熱風を供給するとともに、最下部に配した加熱管4c…から排風する。この連続管6は左右に一対配設することが望ましい。一方、槽本体3の上端には、当該槽本体3の軸方向に配し、かつ下部7dが溶解した廃プラスチックLに浸かるように配した回転スクリュ7を設ける。この際、槽本体3の一端部には回転スクリュ7の一側を収容させた廃プラスチックP…の供給部8を設けるとともに、槽本体3の他端部には回転スクリュ7の他側を収容させた異物回収部9を設ける。
【0010】
これにより、供給部8に投入された固形の廃プラスチックP…は、回転スクリュ7により槽本体3の内部に供給される。そして、廃プラスチックP…は、最初に、下方に配した比較的低温の加熱管4c…により加熱されて溶解する。一方、溶解した廃プラスチックLが増加し、その上面が上方に配した高温の加熱管4a…に達すれば、当該加熱管4a…により加熱され、熱分解により気化する。なお、気化した分解ガスは冷却されることにより、重油(A重油相当)に液化される。また、回転スクリュ7により溶解した廃プラスチックLの上面に浮遊する炭化物等の異物は異物回収部9により回収されるとともに、廃プラスチックLの上面の撹拌と浄化が行われ、分解ガスの発生効率が高められる。
【0011】
よって、熱分解槽2は溶解槽を兼用するため、装置全体の単純化及び小型コンパクト化が実現し、かつ大幅なコストダウンが図られるとともに、メンテナンスの容易化、さらには、廃プラスチックに対する処理速度が速められることにより、重油の生産性及び生産時の経済性が高められる。
【0012】
【実施例】
次に、本発明に係る好適な実施例を挙げ、図面に基づき詳細に説明する。
【0013】
まず、本実施例に係る廃プラスチックの油化還元装置1の構成について、図1〜図5を参照して説明する。
【0014】
図中、2は油化還元装置1の要部を構成する熱分解槽である。この熱分解槽2は、上側に対して下側の幅が狭くなる形状の槽本体3、即ち、図1及び図2に示すような半円形の両端面3s,3tを有する半円筒形に形成した槽本体3を備える。
【0015】
この槽本体3の上端の中央には当該槽本体3の軸方向に配した回転スクリュ7を設ける。この回転スクリュ7は回転駆動部11により回転する。また、槽本体3における端面3sの上部には外方に延出した供給部8を一体に設けるとともに、端面3tの上部には外方に延出した異物回収部9を一体に設け、回転スクリュ7の一側と他側は、それぞれ供給部8及び異物回収部9に収容する。この際、回転スクリュ7の下部7dは溶解した廃プラスチックLに浸かるように配する。さらに、供給部8の上部には固形の廃プラスチックP…を投入するホッパー12を設けるとともに、異物回収部9の上部には回収した異物を取出すための取出口13を設ける。なお、13cは取出口13を開閉する開閉蓋である。
【0016】
また、槽本体3における外面のほぼ全面を外板14により囲み、外板14と槽本体3間に密閉された空間Sを有する保温部32を設ける。この保温部32には後述する加熱装置31から保温用オイルCが供給される。この場合、槽本体3の周面3fと外板14間の空間Sは保温用オイルCを満たせばよいため、比較的狭くてよいが、槽本体3の端面3s,3tと外板14間の空間Sは、保温用オイルCを満たすことに加え、後述する連続管6…の湾曲部を収容するため、当該湾曲部を収容できる間隔を確保する。また、15は槽本体3の上面を覆うカバーであり、カバー15の中央上端には分解ガスを回収するダクト16を接続する。このダクト16は後述するスクラバー52に接続される。
【0017】
さらに、槽本体3には加熱機構5を付設する。加熱機構5は槽本体3の内部に設けた複数の水平な加熱管4a,4a,4b,4b,4c,4cを有する。各加熱管4a,4b,4cは、当該槽本体3の内面に沿って上下方向に所定間隔毎、望ましくは10〜15cm間隔毎に配する。この場合、各加熱管4a,4b,4cは一本の連続管6をジグザグ状に折曲することによって形成される複数の直線部により構成する。即ち、ジグザグ状に折曲した連続管6における複数の直線部を槽本体3の内部に配し、かつ湾曲部を上述した外板14と槽本体3間の空間Sに収容する。連続管6は図2に示すように、左右に一対配設する。
【0018】
一方、最上部に配した加熱管4a,4aの先端開口は、熱風発生装置21に接続するとともに、最下部に配した加熱管4c,4cの先端開口は、ブロアー23…を付設した煙突22,22に接続する。これにより、熱風発生装置21から供給される熱風は、最上部の加熱管4a…に供給された後、中間部の加熱管4b…を通り、この後、最下部の加熱管4c…から外部に排出される。この際、上方に配した加熱管4a…の温度に対して下方に配した加熱管4c…の温度は、熱風が連続管6…を通る際の放熱によって次第に低くなる。したがって、最上部に配した加熱管4a…の温度が、溶解した廃プラスチックLを熱分解させる温度になった際に、下方に配した加熱管4c…の温度が、廃プラスチックP…を溶解させる温度になるように、連続管6…の径及び長さ(加熱管4a…の本数)等の条件を選定する。
【0019】
なお、加熱管4a…の外周面,槽本体3の内面及び回転スクリュ7の外面等の溶解した廃プラスチックL及び分解ガスの触れる面は、耐熱性を有する液状化ガラス(常温ガラス)を塗布する。加熱管4a…,槽本体3及び回転スクリュ7等は、通常、スチール等の金属材料により製造されるため、腐食が発生しやすい。特に、廃プラスチックとして塩化ビニルを用いた場合には、発生する塩素により金属の腐食及び酸化がかなりの速度で進行する。このため、加熱管4a等の表面を液状化ガラス25a…によりコーティングし、耐薬性,耐食性,耐久性等を高める。この場合、図3に示すように、例えば、加熱管4aの表面に液状化ガラス25a,25b…を重ね塗りし、多層のガラス層を設けることが望ましい。
【0020】
また、熱分解槽2には図5に示す保温装置30を付設する。保温装置30は加熱装置31を備える。加熱装置31には加熱部33を備え、この加熱部33の吐出部は図2及び図5に示すように、バルブ34を有する配管35を介して前記保温部32の上部一側に接続するとともに、加熱部33の吸入部はバルブ36を有する配管37を介して前記保温部32の上部他側に接続する。これにより、保温用オイルCは、加熱部33により加熱された後、配管35を介して保温部32を構成する外板14と槽本体3間の空間Sに供給されるとともに、空間S内の保温用オイルCは配管37を介して加熱部33に戻される加熱循環回路が構成される。なお、38はバルブ39を介して加熱部33に接続したオイルタンク、40は加熱部33の運転及び加熱温度等の各種制御を司る制御部、41は気化した保温用オイルを液化する機能を含むエクステンション部である。
【0021】
図4は熱分解槽2を備える油化還元装置1の全体構成を示す。同図中、51は形状の大きな廃プラスチックを小さく砕くためのクラッシャ、52は塩素ガスを中和するためのスクラバー、53はスクラバーに付設したPH調整槽、54は分解ガスを液化するためのコンデンサ、55はコンデンサ54を冷却するための冷却機(クーリングタワー)、56はポンプ、57は得られた重油と水を分離するための油水分離槽、58はフィルタ、59は重油の貯蔵タンクである。
【0022】
次に、本実施例の要部を構成する熱分解槽2の機能を含む油化還元装置1の全体動作について、各図を参照して説明する。
【0023】
まず、熱風発生装置21により最上部に配した加熱管4a,4aに熱風を供給する。これにより、加熱管4a,4aは400℃(塩化ビニルは170℃)前後に加熱される。また、最下部に配した加熱管4c,4cは250℃(塩化ビニルの場合は70℃)前後に加熱される。なお、このような温度が得られるように、連続管6…の径及び長さ(加熱管4a…の本数)等が選定されている。そして、熱風は煙突22,22から外部に排出される。この際、ブロアー23によっても吸気される。
【0024】
一方、固形の廃プラスチック(ポリエチレン,ポリステロール,塩化ビニル等)P…はホッパー12に投入される。この際、大きな廃プラスチックはクラッシャ51により小さく砕かれる。また、回転駆動部11を作動させて回転スクリュ7を回転させる。これにより、ホッパー12に投入された固形の廃プラスチックP…は回転スクリュ7により移送され、槽本体2の内部に供給される。回転スクリュ7の回転速度は任意に制御することにより槽本体2に対する廃プラスチックP…の供給量を調整できる。
【0025】
また、槽本体2の内部に供給された廃プラスチックP…は、槽本体2の底部に落下し、槽本体2の最下部に配した比較的低温の加熱管4c,4cにより加熱され、溶解する。溶解した廃プラスチックLは槽本体2の内部に蓄えられるとともに、増加に伴って溶解した廃プラスチックLの液面が上昇する。そして、上昇した液面が最上部の加熱管4a,4aに達すれば、高温の加熱管4b,4aにより加熱され、廃プラスチックLは熱分解することにより気化する。なお、廃プラスチックLの上面に浮遊する炭化物等の異物は、回転スクリュ7により異物回収部9により回収されるとともに、廃プラスチックLの上面の撹拌と浄化が行われ、分解ガスの発生効率が高められる。
【0026】
他方、気化した分解ガスはダクト16を通ってスクラバー52に供給され、混在する塩素ガスが中和される。さらに、分解ガスはスクラバー52からコンデンサ54に供給され、冷却されることにより、重油(A重油相当)に液化される。コンデンサ54は冷却機55から送られる冷却液により常時冷却される。そして、得られた重油は油水分離槽57に供給される。油水分離槽57では水と重油が分離され、重油はフィルタ58により不純物の除去が行われた後、貯蔵タンク59に供給されて貯蔵されるとともに、一部は熱風発生装置21に供給されて熱風発生装置21の燃料に使用される。
【0027】
なお、夜間等において液化還元装置1の運転を停止している期間では、保温装置30により、熱分解槽2を保温する。この場合、保温用オイルCは、加熱部33により70〜400℃の温度に加熱され、配管35を介して保温部32を構成する外板14と槽本体3間の空間Sに供給されるとともに、空間S内の保温用オイルCは配管37を介して加熱部33に戻される。これにより、槽本体3内に残留する廃プラスチックLは保温され、運転再開時の立上げ時間を大幅に短縮することができる。
【0028】
以上、実施例について詳細に説明したが、本発明はこのような実施例に限定されることなく、細部の構成,形状,素材,数量,手法等において、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で任意に変更できる。
【0029】
例えば、槽本体は半円筒形の形状を例示したが、例えば、断面が逆三角形或いは逆台形等のように、上側に対して下側の幅が狭くなる任意の形状の槽本体を利用できる。また、複数の加熱管は一本の連続管をジグザグ状に折曲することによって形成される複数の直線部により構成したが、文字通り複数の加熱管を配してもよい。さらに、回転スクリュは一本の場合を例示したが、複数本の回転スクリュを平行に並べて配設してもよい。
【0030】
【発明の効果】
このように、本発明に係る廃プラスチックの油化還元装置は、上側に対して下側の幅が狭くなる形状の槽本体と、この槽本体の内部に、当該槽本体の内面に沿って上下方向に所定間隔毎に配した複数の水平な加熱管を設け、かつ上方に配した加熱管の温度に対して下方に配した加熱管の温度を低く設定した加熱機構とを有する熱分解槽を備えるため、次のような顕著な効果を奏する。
【0031】
▲1▼ 熱分解槽は溶解槽を兼用するため、装置全体の単純化及び小型コンパクト化を実現できるとともに、大幅なコストダウンとメンテナンスの容易化を図ることができる。
【0032】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a waste plastic oil reduction apparatus for recycling waste plastic.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, an oil reduction apparatus that heats and decomposes waste plastic (polymer waste) to heavy oil (equivalent to heavy oil A) is known.
[0003]
This type of oil reduction apparatus dissolves solid waste plastics such as polyethylene, polyesterol, and vinyl chloride in a dissolution tank that is heated at a relatively low temperature of about 250 ° C. (vinyl chloride is about 70 ° C.). The waste plastic dissolved in a pyrolysis tank heated to a high temperature around 400 ° C. (vinyl chloride is 170 ° C.) is pyrolyzed, and the vaporized decomposition gas is cooled to obtain heavy oil. In addition, when solid waste plastic is directly put into the pyrolysis tank, the waste plastic is carbonized, not only the reduction efficiency is greatly reduced, but also the treatment of carbide becomes difficult, so by providing a dissolution tank, First, solid waste plastic is dissolved.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described conventional waste oil oil reduction apparatus has the following problems to be solved.
[0005]
First, since a separate dissolution tank is required in addition to the thermal decomposition tank, the overall apparatus becomes complicated and large, and the cost is greatly increased. In addition, the maintenance is extremely disadvantageous.
[0006]
Secondly, the processing speed for waste plastics is slowed, the productivity of heavy oil is reduced, and the economy at the time of production is inferior.
[0007]
The present invention solves such a problem existing in the prior art, realizes simplification and downsizing of the entire apparatus, greatly reduces costs and facilitates maintenance, and improves productivity and economy. An object of the present invention is to provide an oil-reduction / reduction apparatus for waste plastic that can dramatically improve the performance.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems and Embodiments]
In constructing the waste plastic oil-reduction apparatus 1 including the thermal decomposition tank 2 that heats and thermally decomposes the waste plastic P ..., the tank having a shape in which the lower width is narrower than the upper side. A main body 3 and a plurality of horizontal heating tubes 4a, 4b,..., 4c, which are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction along the inner surface of the main body 3 are provided inside the main body 3 and upward. It comprises the thermal decomposition tank 2 which has the heating mechanism 5 which set the temperature of the heating pipe 4c ... arrange | positioned below with respect to the temperature of the arranged heating pipe 4a ... low.
[0009]
In this case, according to a preferred embodiment, the tank body 3 is desirably formed in a semi-cylindrical shape having semicircular end faces 3s and 3t. The temperature of the heating pipes 4c arranged below is set to a temperature at which the waste plastic P is dissolved, and the temperature of the heating pipes 4a arranged above is set to a temperature at which the dissolved waste plastic L is thermally decomposed. Set. The plurality of heating tubes 4a, 4b, 4c,... Are constituted by a plurality of straight portions formed by bending one continuous tube 6 in a zigzag shape, and the heating tube 4a disposed at the top. The hot air is supplied to ... and exhausted from the heating pipes 4c arranged at the bottom. It is desirable that a pair of the continuous pipes 6 be disposed on the left and right. On the other hand, a rotary screw 7 is provided at the upper end of the tank body 3 so as to be disposed in the axial direction of the tank body 3 and so that the lower part 7d is immersed in the dissolved plastic L. At this time, a supply portion 8 of waste plastic P that accommodates one side of the rotary screw 7 is provided at one end portion of the tank body 3, and the other side of the rotary screw 7 is accommodated at the other end portion of the tank body 3. A foreign matter collecting unit 9 is provided.
[0010]
As a result, the solid waste plastic P... Put into the supply unit 8 is supplied into the tank body 3 by the rotary screw 7. The waste plastics P ... are first heated and melted by the relatively low temperature heating tubes 4c arranged below. On the other hand, when the waste plastic L that has been melted increases and reaches the high-temperature heating tubes 4a arranged on the upper surface, the plastics are heated by the heating tubes 4a and vaporized by thermal decomposition. The vaporized cracked gas is liquefied into heavy oil (equivalent to heavy oil A) by being cooled. Further, foreign matters such as carbides floating on the upper surface of the waste plastic L dissolved by the rotary screw 7 are collected by the foreign matter collecting unit 9 and the agitation and purification of the upper surface of the waste plastic L are performed, so that the generation efficiency of decomposition gas is improved. Enhanced.
[0011]
Therefore, since the pyrolysis tank 2 also serves as a dissolution tank, the entire apparatus can be simplified and reduced in size and size, the cost can be greatly reduced, the maintenance can be facilitated, and the processing speed for waste plastic can be improved. This speeds up the productivity of heavy oil and the economics of production.
[0012]
【Example】
Next, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be given and described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
First, the structure of the waste plastic oil-reduction apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0014]
In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes a thermal decomposition tank constituting the main part of the oil reduction apparatus 1. This pyrolysis tank 2 is formed in a tank body 3 having a shape in which the lower width is narrower with respect to the upper side, that is, a semi-cylindrical shape having semicircular end faces 3s and 3t as shown in FIGS. The tank body 3 is provided.
[0015]
A rotating screw 7 arranged in the axial direction of the tank body 3 is provided at the center of the upper end of the tank body 3. The rotary screw 7 is rotated by the rotation drive unit 11. Further, the supply portion 8 extending outward is integrally provided on the upper portion of the end surface 3s of the tank body 3, and the foreign matter collecting portion 9 extending outward is integrally provided on the upper portion of the end surface 3t. One side and the other side of 7 are accommodated in the supply unit 8 and the foreign material recovery unit 9, respectively. At this time, the lower part 7 d of the rotary screw 7 is arranged so as to be immersed in the dissolved waste plastic L. Further, a hopper 12 for charging solid waste plastic P is provided at the upper part of the supply unit 8, and an outlet 13 for taking out the collected foreign matter is provided at the upper part of the foreign matter collection unit 9. Reference numeral 13c denotes an open / close lid that opens and closes the outlet 13.
[0016]
In addition, a heat retaining portion 32 having a space S enclosed between the outer plate 14 and the tank body 3 is provided by enclosing almost the entire outer surface of the tank body 3 with the outer plate 14. The heat retaining unit 32 is supplied with heat retaining oil C from a heating device 31 described later. In this case, the space S between the peripheral surface 3f of the tank body 3 and the outer plate 14 only needs to be filled with the heat retaining oil C, and thus may be relatively narrow. However, the space between the end surfaces 3s, 3t of the tank body 3 and the outer plate 14 is sufficient. In addition to satisfying the heat retaining oil C, the space S accommodates the curved portions of the continuous pipes 6 to be described later, and therefore secures an interval in which the curved portions can be accommodated. Reference numeral 15 denotes a cover that covers the upper surface of the tank body 3, and a duct 16 that collects cracked gas is connected to the upper center of the cover 15. This duct 16 is connected to a scrubber 52 described later.
[0017]
Further, the tank body 3 is provided with a heating mechanism 5. The heating mechanism 5 has a plurality of horizontal heating tubes 4 a, 4 a, 4 b, 4 b, 4 c, 4 c provided inside the tank body 3. Each heating pipe 4a, 4b, 4c is arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction along the inner surface of the tank body 3, and preferably at intervals of 10 to 15 cm. In this case, each heating pipe 4a, 4b, 4c is constituted by a plurality of straight portions formed by bending one continuous pipe 6 in a zigzag shape. That is, a plurality of straight portions in the continuous pipe 6 bent in a zigzag shape are arranged inside the tank body 3, and the curved portion is accommodated in the space S between the outer plate 14 and the tank body 3 described above. As shown in FIG. 2, a pair of continuous pipes 6 are arranged on the left and right.
[0018]
On the other hand, the tip opening of the heating pipes 4a, 4a arranged at the top is connected to the hot air generator 21, and the tip opening of the heating pipes 4c, 4c arranged at the bottom is a chimney 22 provided with a blower 23,. 22 is connected. Thus, the hot air supplied from the hot air generator 21 is supplied to the uppermost heating pipes 4a, then passes through the intermediate heating pipes 4b, and then to the outside from the lowermost heating pipes 4c. Discharged. At this time, the temperature of the heating tubes 4c arranged below is gradually lowered by the heat radiation when the hot air passes through the continuous tubes 6 ... with respect to the temperature of the heating tubes 4a arranged above. Therefore, when the temperature of the heating pipes 4a disposed at the top reaches a temperature at which the dissolved waste plastic L is thermally decomposed, the temperature of the heating pipes 4c disposed below dissolves the waste plastic P. Conditions such as the diameter and length of the continuous tubes 6 (the number of heating tubes 4a) are selected so that the temperature is reached.
[0019]
In addition, the surface which the waste plastic L and decomposition gas which melt | dissolved, such as the outer peripheral surface of the heating tube 4a ..., the inner surface of the tank main body 3, and the outer surface of the rotary screw 7, apply | coat liquefied glass (room temperature glass) which has heat resistance. . Since the heating tubes 4a, the tank body 3, the rotary screw 7 and the like are usually made of a metal material such as steel, corrosion tends to occur. In particular, when vinyl chloride is used as waste plastic, metal corrosion and oxidation proceed at a considerable rate due to the generated chlorine. For this reason, the surface of the heating tube 4a or the like is coated with the liquefied glass 25a ... to improve chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, durability, and the like.
