  • Patent number: 11905346
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing an ethylene-based copolymer, and more particularly, to a method for producing an ethylene-based copolymer capable of increasing process efficiency by preventing plugging and corrosion of a facility. The method for producing an ethylene-based copolymer includes a producing mode and a washing mode of which one is selectively performed. The producing mode includes: a) hyper-compressing primary compressed ethylene, and a mixture including a carboxylic acid-containing comonomer and a polar solvent to produce a compressed material; b) reacting the compressed material to produce a reaction product including an ethylene-based copolymer; and c) separating and recovering unreacted residues from the reaction product and introducing the unreacted residues into the mixture of step a). The washing mode includes: re-supplying the compressed material produced in step a) to step a) as a mixture, without performing step b).

  • Publication number: 20230323222
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of treating waste plastic pyrolysis oil. The method includes a first step of washing waste plastic pyrolysis oil with water and then removing moisture; a second step of mixing the waste plastic pyrolysis oil from which the moisture is removed and a sulfur source to prepare a mixed oil; a third step of hydrotreating the mixed oil with hydrogen gas in the presence of a hydrotreating catalyst; a fourth step of separating the hydrotreated mixed oil into a liquid stream and a gas stream to obtain liquid pyrolysis oil; and a fifth step of recovering hydrogen gas from the separated gas stream and recycling the recovered hydrogen gas to the third step.

  • Patent number: 11667818
    Abstract: An ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer has a portion having a melting temperature of 94° C. or higher. A content of the portion having the melting temperature of 94° C. or higher measured by a Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) analysis is 1.5% or less. A water-dispersive composition includes the ethylene (meth)acrylic acid copolymer, a neutralizing agent and an aqueous medium.

  • Publication number: 20230049254
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for refining pyrolysis oil in which a dechlorination reaction is performed at a first temperature under a first hydrotreating catalyst, denitrification reaction is performed at a second temperature higher than the first temperature under a second hydrotreating catalyst, and chlorine adsorption by an adsorbent is performed after the dechlorination reaction, thereby preventing production of an ammonium salt (NH4Cl), and providing refined oil which is excellent in prevention of corrosion of a reactor, improvement of durability, occurrence of differential pressure, and process efficiency, has very low contents of impurities such as chlorine, nitrogen, and metal and olefin, and has excellent quality.
