Catalytic pyrolysis of non-textile button components as a co-feedstock for bioenergy production
Recently, the co-pyrolysis of biomass and various types of plastic waste (PW) has shown great potential in improving H/Ceff ratio of biomass, making it a sustainable and competitive source of bioenergy, especially in the presence of catalysts. However, this strategy is limited by high contamination and the difficulty of sorting PW, requiring the development of another clean and uniform source of PW. In this context, this research presents polyester and nylon buttons (major part of non-textile components) as a new type of clean and sortable PW for this purpose. The experiments at this stage was focused on studying the catalytic pyrolysis of plastic buttons only by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) coupled with Fourier transform infrared (TG-FTIR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to provide the basic data needed for future co-pyrolysis with biomass. The energy consumed during the reaction (Ea) and other catalytic pyrolysis characteristics over ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst were evaluated using kinetic models along with determination of their thermodynamic parameters. Also, an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm was proposed to expect TGA properties of buttons at ambiguous heating parameters. The TGA results revealed that polyester sample can be decomposed in two stages up to 360 °C and 460 °C, while nylon sample decomposed in a single stage up to 490 °C. The TGA-FTIR analysis highlighted that carbonyl groups (polyester) and aliphatic hydrocarbons (nylon) are the main functional groups of polyester and nylon vapors. Meanwhile, benzoic acid (72.94 % at 20 min/°C) the main compound of nylon sample and 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid (plasticizers) the main compound of polyester and its toxic styrene compound was completely removed. Finally, the Ea used in decomposition of buttons was estimated at 241.6–262.7 kJ/mol (polyester) and 165.6–173.4 kJ/mol (nylon). The suggested ANN model showed high potential in predicting the catalytic pyrolysis characteristics with R > 0.98. Based on these findings, plastic buttons can be used as a co-feeding hydrogen-rich source to biomass to enhance its H/Ceff ratio and aromatic compounds.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
