Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for real-time analysis or near-real-time analysis and, if necessary, real-time control or near-real-time control of the release of volatile compounds in a manufacturing, processing or recycling process of materials, wherein the materials are heated or melted for processing and, if necessary, additionally degassed .
- the method includes the steps of taking samples, passing the sample containing the volatile compounds to an analysis device for real-time or near-real-time analysis of the volatile compounds with measuring and analyzing the volatile compounds and, if necessary, controlling and regulating parameters of the manufacturing and processing -, or recycling processes to maximize the release and removal of these volatile compounds and thus to reduce the remaining or increase through specifically added volatile substances in the processed material.
- a device is provided with a process unit, in particular an extruder, for material processing, comprising at least one device for sampling volatile compounds during processing and at least one analysis device for real-time analysis or near-real-time analysis of the volatile compounds and a control device for material processing set up for control , Optimization and control of material processing parameters based on data obtained during real-time or near-real-time analysis of volatile compounds.
- the present invention enables continuous process monitoring for quality control and near-real-time rejection of such produced materials or recyclates with undesirable or excessive contamination of the input streams.
- volatile substances or volatile compounds are released.
- These volatile compounds released during processing can be of various types. These can be, for example, compounds that are harmful to health or the environment, as well as odor-active substances, residues from material production (e.g. residual monomers, catalyst residues, residual solvents, etc.), substances in recyclates (decomposition products, printing ink residues, etc.), substances that were absorbed during the use phase ( Flavors, oils, fats, fuels) or similar.
- Volatile substances are often removed during processing using suppression, e.g. B. by vacuum degassing.
- Such compounds release gases, particularly during extrusion.
- gases can be contaminated to varying degrees with the odor-active substances and volatile compounds that can outgas during the process and also after production. Accordingly, necessary quality control is as necessary as possible during the manufacturing process and in relation to the end product.
- the known methods particularly in quality control of the finished end products, suffer from the fact that no information is obtained about possible contamination of the input stream during the actual manufacturing process. Accordingly, the manufacturing process can neither be monitored nor influenced in a timely manner.
- Material properties of a workpiece are taken into account during production, e.g. B. determined by extrusion.
- an analysis of the gases diffused into the ambient air during the production of a workpiece is described, with a material-removing seaming or workpiece separation taking place in an endlessly produced extruded profile after it leaves a production line.
- the removed material of the extruded profile is essentially continuously removed and separated in a material stream and samples are taken for analysis so that the result of the analysis can be assigned to a specific workpiece.
- the method does not allow online analysis during the manufacturing process, in particular no subsequent control, optimization or regulation of the process.
- EP 2 760 618 B1 describes a method with a device for removing volatile components from polymer-containing media. From EP 1 713 832 B1 a device with a method for measuring a polymerization reaction by taking and analyzing a sample is known.
- EP 1 119 800 B1 describes a system for online interference of physical and chemical properties and systems for online control of systems based on model-predictive control algorithms.
- DE 199 34 349 A1 describes analysis methods for the continuous, analytical control of polymers during their production or processing. The extrudate is analyzed after leaving the extruder using a “gas dome”.
- DE 10 2010 042 958 A1 describes a system and a method for the continuous production of preforms. Volatile compounds are determined after the extrudate leaves the melt production section of the plant, the extruder. The same also applies to the disclosure of US 2011/0154883 A1.
- DE 10 2007 029 010 A1 generally describes one Process for compounding polymers described. The use of entraining agents to reduce the content of residual solvents and monomers or oligomers is described.
- the present invention relates to suitable methods for real-time analysis or near-real-time analysis and, if necessary, real-time control or near-real-time control of the release of volatile compounds in a manufacturing, processing or recycling process of materials, these materials being heated and/or melted and/or degassed for processing will include the steps:
- Another step may be to discard the product. If the input stream contains too many critical substances, these will show up immediately and directly in the inline process according to the invention. The product can therefore be sorted out immediately as part of the online quality control. In contrast, the downstream offline analysis of the state of the art only allows one random checks, so that the detection of critical substances are subject to the statistics of sampling and can therefore be lost.
- the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for processing the materials in the form of an extrusion of these, e.g. B. of plastic-containing materials, especially recyclates.
- the corresponding analysis system for the volatile compounds includes a device for taking samples of the volatile compounds at at least one position of the processing method.
- a gas analysis system includes an analysis device, such as a gas chromatograph, whereby the information obtained with the aid of the gas chromatograph is used, if necessary, with the aid of a control device to control parameters and rules of the processing method.
- the present invention is directed to a device for material processing with a process unit, in particular an extruder
- this device includes, in addition to the actual processing space, e.g. B. in an extruder the corresponding extrusion chamber (process part), at least one device for taking samples of volatile compounds during the manufacturing, processing or recycling process, at least one analysis device for real-time analysis or near-real-time analysis of the volatile compounds, this analysis device having a device for sampling is conductively connected; a control device of the processing method set up to control and regulate parameters of the processing method based on data obtained through the real-time analysis or near-real-time analysis of volatile compounds.
- the device according to the invention comprises an extruder with a gas analysis system according to the invention, as described, wherein the device for sampling volatile compounds is arranged before the outlet of the extruder, i.e. within the compounding or recycling process.
- Figure 1 - a schematic representation of the device according to one
- the present invention relates in a first aspect to a method for real-time analysis or near-real-time analysis and, if necessary, near-real-time control of the release of volatile compounds in a manufacturing, processing or recycling process of materials, these materials being heated or melted for processing and, if necessary, additionally be degassed, comprising the steps:
- Measurement and analysis of volatile compounds if necessary, controlling and regulating parameters of the process for removing these volatile compounds or for minimizing the remaining volatile compounds of these in the resulting product of the process, with the sampling of volatile compounds taking place in a degassing zone of the process unit of this manufacturing, processing or recycling process.
- volatile compounds are further increased by introducing these compounds, for example, deodorization by introducing fragrances or odor inhibitors, etc.
- real-time analysis means that the sample taken is fed directly to the analysis device via a conductive connection, where it is directly measured and analyzed.
- close to real time means that there is a period of a maximum of 20 minutes, such as a maximum of 10 minutes, preferably less such as 8 minutes, 6 minutes, 5 minutes or less, between taking the sample and receiving the analysis.
- volatile compounds refers to substances and compounds that are volatile at room temperature or when heated or melted up to the processing temperature due to their low vapor pressure or low boiling temperature, that is, they degas from the material. These are usually small molecules, e.g. B. short-chain organic substances. These volatile compounds escape in fluid form, ie as eluate, in liquid or gaseous form. Volatile compounds include in particular highly volatile organic compounds which degas from the material at lower temperatures due to low boiling temperatures and lower vapor pressure.
- melting or “melted” in this case means material processing in which the viscosity of the material is reduced by supplying energy through heat or radiation and the material becomes more flowable.
- the analysis can be a determination of the substances themselves, i.e. i.e., a determination of the released volatile compounds as such.
- the analysis can also be a semi-quantitative or quantitative analysis of the specific released substances.
- the analysis can include a complete determination of the volatile compounds released.
- the analysis can include a determination of model substances that represent a group of substances.
- the method according to the invention allows a rapid determination of the volatile compounds based on the gas analysis system used, in order to ensure the reduction in the release of these volatile compounds, in particular at a later point in time, or to improve the removal of these volatile compounds, including odor-active substances during the To enable manufacturing, processing or recycling processes.
- this can be done and controlled with the help of entraining agents or extraction agents.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that, due to the possibility of real-time analysis or near-real-time analysis, the substances that have a negative impact on the processing and use of the manufactured products, such as unpleasant odors, etc., can be reduced.
- the production, processing or recycling process of materials according to the invention is an extrusion process.
- extrusion processes refers to all types of extrusion processes, including compounding, recycling or profile, film and fiber production using extrusion.
- the manufacturing, processing or recycling process is therefore compounding, which can be carried out using an extruder but also using other known processes.
- Compounding usually means the targeted production of specific material compositions by adding additives with appropriate processing of the raw material to produce the desired product from the corresponding starting materials.
- the method is one in which at least one sampling for analysis of the volatile compounds takes place in front of the extruder nozzle.
- at least one sampling for analysis of the volatile compounds takes place in front of the extruder nozzle.
- early online or inline analysis allows rapid control and regulation of both the corresponding materials supplied and those used Entraining and extraction agents.
- the materials that can be used according to the invention include, in particular, plastics.
- the materials to be processed are plastics or plastic-containing compositions, such as composites.
- these materials are recyclates that are processed accordingly using the processing method and converted into new products.
- Granules are usually produced during extrusion, which are then further processed in appropriate processing machines, such as injection molding machines, etc.
- appropriate processing machines such as injection molding machines, etc.
- Another product of extrusion are profiles, fibers, foams or films.
- the method according to the invention is used in a processing method of plastic-containing materials in the form of extrusion in order to obtain granules processed as intermediate products from recyclates.
- the sampling of the volatile compounds takes place in a degassing zone of this processing method.
- extruders have at least one degassing zone in which volatile compounds are removed from the process.
