Wax Formation in the Pyrolysis of Polyolefins in a Conical Spouted Bed Reactor
Abstract
The pyrolysis of polyolefins (low-density and high-density polyethylene and polypropylene) in a new kind of reactor, a conical spouted bed, has been studied in the 450−600 °C range and the kinetics of the formation of wax and individual gaseous products and significant groups of components have been determined. The activation energy of wax formation is similar for both polyethylenes (214 kJ mol - 1 for that of low density and 225 kJ mol - 1 for that of high density) and lower for polypropylene (176 kJ mol - 1 ). The characteristic gas−solid contact of this reactor is especially suitable for selectively obtaining wax (92 wt % from polypropylene and 80 wt % from both polyethylenes) due to the high gas linear-velocity. Wax composition determined by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry indicates that it is a less branched and that its olefinic content is higher than that of commercial waxes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
