Abstract

Provided is a method for producing chemical products and carbides, including: a pyrolysis step of obtaining a first gas fraction, a pyrolysis oil, and a residual fraction by pyrolysis of a crushed material of waste tires; a carbide recovery step of recovering a carbide from the residual fraction; a hydrogenolysis step of obtaining a second gas fraction, a light fraction, and a heavy fraction by hydrogenolysis of a raw material oil containing at least a part of the pyrolysis oil; and a steam-cracking step of obtaining a chemical product and a raw material for producing a carbide by steam cracking of a steam-cracking raw material oil containing at least a part of the light fraction.

Claims (27)

1 . A method for producing chemical products and carbides, comprising:

pyrolysis by obtaining a first gas fraction, a pyrolysis oil, and a residual fraction by pyrolysis of a crushed material of waste tires;

carbide recovery by recovering a carbide from the residual fraction;

hydrogenolysis by obtaining a second gas fraction, a light fraction with a boiling point of 350° C. or lower, and a heavy fraction with a boiling point higher than 350° C. by hydrogenolysis of a raw material oil containing at least a part of the pyrolysis oil; and

steam-cracking by obtaining a chemical product and a raw material for producing a carbide consisting of a heavy distillate with a 10% distillation temperature of 190° C. or higher by steam cracking of a steam-cracking raw material oil containing at least a part of the light fraction,

wherein a pyrolysis temperature of the pyrolysis is 350 to 750° C., and

in the hydrogenolysis, the raw material oil contains a low-boiling-point raw material with a boiling point of 350° C. or lower and a high-boiling-point raw material with a boiling point higher than 350° C., and a content of the high-boiling-point raw material is 15% by mass or more on the basis of a total amount of the raw material oil.

2 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the pyrolysis, an amount of the pyrolysis oil with respect to a total amount of the first gas fraction, the pyrolysis oil, and the residual fraction is 40% by mass or more.

3 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the pyrolysis, an amount of the first gas fraction with respect to a total amount of the first gas fraction, the pyrolysis oil, and the residual fraction is 25% by mass or less.

4 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the pyrolysis, an amount of the pyrolysis oil with respect to a total amount of the first gas fraction, the pyrolysis oil, and the residual fraction is 80% by mass or less.

5 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the pyrolysis oil, a 10% distillation temperature is 90° C. or higher, and a 90% distillation temperature is 350° C. or higher.

6 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the hydrogenolysis, the content of the high-boiling-point raw material in the raw material oil is 70% by mass or less on the basis of the total amount of the raw material oil.

7 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hydrogenolysis includes performing hydrogenolysis on the raw material oil in the presence of a hydrogenolysis catalyst.

8 . The method according to claim 7 ,

wherein the hydrogenolysis catalyst includes a Ni-based catalyst.

9 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the hydrogenolysis, a nitrogen fraction in the raw material oil is 2000 mass ppm or more, and a nitrogen fraction in the light fraction is 25 mass ppm or less.

10 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the raw material oil in the hydrogenolysis is the pyrolysis oil.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising

carbide production by obtaining a carbide by pyrolysis or incomplete combustion of the raw material for producing a carbide.
