Abstract
Catalytic pyrolysis of waste flat-panel display (FPD) plastics and pure polystyrene (PS), which is the main polymer component in FPD waste, is conducted at 500 °C in a micropyrolysis reactor to enhance benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) production and eliminate styrene and heteroatom compounds in pyrolysis products. A comparative study with PS reveals similar product distributions, indicating that FPD waste additives do not significantly impede the catalytic reactions. Zeolitic catalysts (HZSM-5, Hβ, and HY) effectively reduce nitrogen- and oxygen-containing compounds and also styrene with increase in BTEX and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) yields. Even at a feed:catalyst ratio of 1:1, distinct product distributions are observed compared to the noncatalytic run. In the presence of Hβ, benzene is the main compound, exhibiting a 22% increase. With HY, ethylbenzene is the dominant product, showing a 36% increase. Notably, HY, which possesses the highest concentration of Brønsted acid sites with minimum of Lewis acid sites together with the largest pore size among the studied zeolites, preferentially enhances the formation of ethylbenzene within the BTEX.
期刊介绍:
ChemPlusChem is a peer-reviewed, general chemistry journal that brings readers the very best in multidisciplinary research centering on chemistry. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
Fully comprehensive in its scope, ChemPlusChem publishes articles covering new results from at least two different aspects (subfields) of chemistry or one of chemistry and one of another scientific discipline (one chemistry topic plus another one, hence the title ChemPlusChem). All suitable submissions undergo balanced peer review by experts in the field to ensure the highest quality, originality, relevance, significance, and validity.
