Description
PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING FUEL GAS OBTAINED FROM
EXHAUSTED PLASTICS
The present invention relates to the field of recovery and recycling of plastics treated downstream of the segregated collection of municipal solid waste.
Such plastics are not homogeneous and do not represent a single material, but are rather composed of different materials with their own chemical and physical characteristics. The polymer chosen for each use must in fact meet specific requirements in terms of preservation (protection against air, light) , logistics (efficiency in transport, handling at the points of sale, spaces occupied in homes), and aesthetics (transparency, colours, possibility of applying wording and images) .
For this reason, the plastics originating from segregated waste collection need to undergo processes of selection for polymer (PET, PE, PP) or family of polymers, in order to be afterwards reintroduced into the market for the production of semi-finished or finished products.
The residual left over after such selection processes, consisting of a mixture of plastics, displays a large heterogeneity that makes it substantially impossible to exploit in the recycling market, which demands homogeneous material sorted by polymer or family of polymers.
Said mixture of plastics displays a good calorific value, estimable to be between 20 and 30 MJ/kg, above the limit of 13 MJ/kg, which represents the maximum value for landfillable waste (European Directive 1999/31/EC transposed in Italy by Legislative Decree 13/1/2003 n.36) .
The interest toward this material is therefore due to its high calorific power, which makes it attractive for incineration and energy production.
It is known that gasification, i.e. the thermal treatment of
a substance or mixture of substances in the presence of an oxidizing agent in substoichiometric amounts, with the passage from the solid state to a fuel gas, names as synthesis gas or syngas, enables to produce electricity with a greater yield and a lower environmental impact compared to solutions based on combustion alone.
In Italian patent 1352001 a reactor is described having a substantially cylindrical chamber, capable of rotating, for carrying out the gasification process and for the disposal of waste.
Said apparatus and procedure can be optimized in order to implement a gasification process based on the specific characteristics of the mix of plastics.
Thus there is the need, in the specific field of the recovery and recycling of plastics from treatment downstream of the segregated collection of municipal solid waste and end-of-life plastic packaging, to be able to have a process and a simple, economical apparatus for the production of fuel gas.
The present invention contributes to solving the problem of making use of plastics, in particular end-of-life (exhausted) plastic packaging, by providing an alternative solution to landfilling and enabling the production of fuel gas.
Scope of the process and apparatus of the present invention is to obtain, by conducting and performing the thermal treatment in a particular way, without the input of heat from the outside, fuel gases that can be used in a plant for the combined production of electricity and heat energy.
The object of the present invention refers to a process for the production of fuel gases obtained from a mixture of plastics, comprising the following operations:
- loading said mixture of plastics into a rotating cylindrical reactor chamber, preheated to temperatures in the range of 600- 1000°C, and containing a solid mobile bed, chemically inert towards the mixture of plastics, having high values of: thermal
capacity, thermal conductivity, density and hardness;
- introducing, contacting and mixing the mixture of plastics in said bed;
- releasing, in the chamber, of volatile substances obtained by the heating activity of said bed on the mixture of plastics and by the mechanical contact activity between the mixture of plastics and said bed;
- inletting and distribution in the chamber of a combustive agent selected from the group comprising: air, oxygen, nitrogen, argon and combinations thereof;
- combusting by means of the inlet combustive agent of at least a part of the volatile substances with the consequent production of gaseous products;
-emitting fuel gas (synthesis gas or syngas), said fuel gas being composed of the mixture of combustion products and volatile substances not combusted at a temperature in the range of 700- 850°C; unloading and collection of solid residual products, such as ashes.
The mixture of plastics treated according to the proposed process includes:
-volatile substances in a percentage in the range between 60 and 90% by weight, preferably 70%;
- an ash content in a percentage in the range between 3 and 30% by weight, preferably 10%; an apparent density in the heap (defined as the ratio between the mass and the apparent volume, which also includes empty spaces) in the range between 80 and 150 kg/m3, preferably 100 kg/m3;
-a lower calorific value (LCV) in the range between 20 and 40 MJ/kg, preferably 30 MJ/kg.
The mixture of plastics, prior to loading in the reactor apparatus, is preferably mechanically pre-treated by grinding with a grinder having a maximum output mesh size in the range between 30 and 60 mm, preferably equal to 50 mm.
According to the invention, the solid mobile bed of the gasification apparatus has the following characteristics:
-values of specific heat of the material forming the bed such as to obtain a thermal capacity of the bed in the range between 400 and 2000 kJ/kg, preferably 1000 kJ/kg;
-values of the thermal conductivity of the material forming the bed in the range between 10 and 100 W/ (m»K) , preferably 30 W/ (m»K) ;
-values of the absolute density of the material forming the bed in the range between 3800 and 8000 kg/m3, preferably 20 4000 kg/m3;
-values of hardness of the material forming the bed in the range between 160 and 2000 Vickers, preferably 1000 Vickers.
The elementary unit of the material constituting the bed has a roundness (defined as the ratio between the outer surface of a sphere which has the same volume as a particle of the material forming the bed and the outer surface of the particle itself) of 0.6 to 1, preferably 1, with the maximum size in the range between 10 and 40 mm, preferably 25 mm.
The ratio between the mass of the mobile solid bed (kg) and the flow rate of the loaded mixture of plastics (kg/hr) is in the range between 3 and 20, preferably 5, and the flow rate of the combustive agent injected into the combustion chamber has an equivalence ratio (defined as the ratio between the amount of oxygen fed and that necessary for stoichiometric combustion of the loaded mixture of plastics) in the range between 0.16 and 0.30.
The material forming the mobile bed is made with a multiplicity of elements made of metallic or ceramic material.
The choice between a ceramic bed and metal bed is tied to specific configurations connected to the productivity of the plant; in particular, it is based on such parameters as height, weight of the bed, mass of the solid mobile bed (kg) and the flow rate of the loaded mixture of plastics (kg/hour) . When
greater productivity is required, the use of bed in ceramic material is preferable.
According to a first variant, the solid mobile bed, when values V of the ratio between the mass of the mobile solid bed (kg) and the flow rate of the loaded mixture of plastics (kg/hour) is in the range between 3 and 8 included (3 < V < 8 ) , is made of ceramic material, preferably in the form of solid elements, the ceramic material being selected from the group comprising: calcinated bauxite, grounded corundum and tabular alumina.
According to a second variant, the solid mobile bed, when values V of the ratio between the mass of the mobile solid bed (kg) and the flow rate of the loaded mixture of plastics (kg/hour) is in the range between 8, excluded, and 20 (8 < V < 20), is made of metallic material, preferably in the form of hollow elements, the metallic material being selected from the group comprising: steel, preferably stainless steel, and cast iron .
The presence of the solid mobile bed brings the following advantages:
- it facilitates the crushing of the solid products generated in the phase of pyrolysis deriving from the contact between the solid residue and the elements forming the hot bed;
- it facilitates the heat exchange between the mixture of plastics and the elements forming the hot bed, thus accelerating the thermal treatment process, with a consequent high production of volatile substances;
- it accumulates the heat generated by the partial combustion of released volatile substances.
One of the advantages of the process according to the invention is that, thanks to the use of a particular solid mobile bed, it is possible to carry out, inside the reactor, a self- sustaining thermal treatment, there being no need for a regime of further heating systems.
A further advantage of the present invention is the formation of a syngas mainly consisting of methane and carbon monoxide, with a low percentage of tar.
The present invention also refers to an apparatus suitable for carrying out the process according to the invention.
In fact, a further object of the present invention is an apparatus suitable for the production of fuel gas from a mixture of plastics comprising:
-a substantially cylindrical chamber (1), rotating around its longitudinal axis of symmetry, optionally inclined downwardly from the inlet section to the outlet section relative to the horizontal plane by an angle comprised between 1 and 3%, with a rotation speed in the range between 0.5 and 3.0 rpm, preferably 1.5 rpm, with a ratio between diameter and length ranging between 0.15 and 0.4, and provided with means able to achieve an internal depression of the chamber between -10 and - 40 Pa; the chamber being partially filled with a mobile solid bed (2) chemically inert towards the mixture of plastics;
- preheating means (3), consisting, for example, in at least one burner, preferably supplied with methane;
-supply means (4) for supplying the mixture of plastics, consisting of gravity feeding means, such as, for example, a screw feeder or conveyor belts with a longitudinal distribution over the mobile bed;
-input and distribution means (5) for the combustive agent, consisting preferably in a lance arranged parallel to the axis of longitudinal symmetry of the chamber and having a plurality of nozzles for the emission of the combustive agent toward the mobile bed;
-discharge means (6) for discharging the solid residue, such as, for example, grids with a mesh having dimensions smaller than the grain size of the material constituting the mobile bed.
According to a variant of the apparatus, there are also means for mixing the solid mobile bed and the mixture of plastics, for
example consisting of series of blades arranged circumferentially on the inner skirt of the chamber.
