Abstract

Provided is a method of producing naphtha from mixed plastic, the method including the following steps: (a) subjecting the mixed plastic to thermal pyrolysis; (b) separating a product produced in the thermal pyrolysis into first oil having a boiling point of lower than 150° C. and second oil having a boiling point higher than that of the first oil; and (c) subjecting the second oil to catalytic pyrolysis.

Claims (20)

1. A method of producing naphtha from mixed plastic, comprising the following steps:

(a) subjecting the mixed plastic to thermal pyrolysis and thereby producing a primary pyrolysis oil;

(b) separating the primary pyrolysis oil produced in the thermal pyrolysis into first oil having a boiling point of lower than 150° C. and comprising naphtha, and second oil having a boiling point higher than that of the first oil by fractional distillation;

(c) subjecting only the second oil to catalytic pyrolysis and thereby producing a catalytic pyrolysis product; and

(d) separating third oil having a boiling point of lower than 150° C. and comprising naphtha by subjecting the catalytic pyrolysis product produced in the step (c) to fractional distillation and mixing the separated third oil with the first oil to produce final oil comprising naphtha,

wherein the first oil and the second oil satisfy the following Relational Expression 1:

1< A 1 /A 2 <5  Relational Expression 11

wherein A 1 is a content (wt %) of Cl in the first oil and A 2 is a content (wt %) of Cl in the second oil.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein in step (a), the mixed plastic is subjected to thermal pyrolysis at a temperature of 500° C. or lower.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein in step (b), the first oil and the second oil are separated in a weight ratio of 5:95 to 30:80.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a yield of naphtha in the first oil is 5 to 30 wt % with respect to 100 wt % of pyrolysis oil obtained in step (a).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first oil and the second oil satisfy the following Relational Expression 2:

1< B 1/ B 2<1.5  [Relational Expression 2]

wherein B1 is a content (wt %) of olefins in the first oil and B2 is a content (wt %) of olefins in the second oil.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein olefin components are included in the second oil in an amount of 20 to 70 wt % with respect to a total weight of the second oil.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein external olefin components are included in the second oil in an amount of 5 to 40 wt % with respect to the total weight of the second oil.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a catalyst used in step (c) is zeolite, clay, silica-alumina-phosphate (SAPO), aluminum phosphate (ALPO), metal organic framework (MOF), silica alumina, or a mixture thereof.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a yield of naphtha in the third oil is 10 to 50 wt % with respect to 100 wt % of pyrolysis oil obtained in step (a).

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein in step (c), the second oil is subjected to catalytic pyrolysis at a temperature of 500° C. or lower.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein a yield of naphtha in the produced final oil is 35 wt % or more with respect to 100 wt % of pyrolysis oil obtained in step (a).
