  • Patent number: 11939542
    Abstract: A system for processing plastic waste may include a feed line, a feed fractionator, a hydrotreater, a catalytic reforming unit, a heavy oil cracker, and a steam cracker. A pyrolyzed plastics feed is separated into light, medium, and heavy hydrocarbon streams. The hydrotreater removes sulfur, and the catalytic reforming unit produces a circular aromatic-rich stream. The heavy oil cracker generates cracked streams. The steam cracker produces a circular olefin stream from a cracked stream. A system for processing plastic waste may include the feed line, the feed fractionator, the hydrotreater, a medium hydrocarbon fractionator, the catalytic reforming unit, a full-range reforming unit, the heavy oil cracker, and the steam cracker. The medium hydrocarbon fractionator produces two hydrocarbon streams. The full-range naphtha reforming unit produces a second circular aromatic-rich stream.

  • Patent number: 5102737
    Abstract: It has been found that improved toner adhesion and resistance from abrasion can be achieved by applying to the printing substrate, a polymeric film forming material suitable for forming a print-receptive coating which when cured, will have a dynamic storage tensile modulus ranging from about 0.01.times.10.sup.9 to about 26.times.10.sup.9 dynes per square centimeter when measured on a Rheometrics Mechanical Spectrometer at 25.degree. C. at a frequency of 10 radians per second. At this modulus range the coating will have a softness to hardness range which will accept the printed toner without undue smearing and without allowing the toner to come loose from the coating during normal handling.
