Abstract: Provided is a circular process for converting polyolefins and other waste plastics back into the starting materials for polymers or value-added chemicals. Waste plastics are passed through a pyrolysis reactor to produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a pyrolysis oil and pitch (or char). Optionally after further washing to remove halogens and other contaminants, the pyrolysis oil is passed to a hydrodehalogenation reactor, followed by a hydroconversion reactor comprising a catalyst comprising an LTA zeolite having an acid site concentration of 1-3 mol/l. Effluent from the hydroconversion reactor can then be sent to a steam cracker for renewed conversion into olefins.

Abstract: Provided is a stable and efficient process for preparing ethylene in improved yields when starting with a bio feedstock. The process first involves a hydrodeoxygenation reaction in which n-paraffins are made. The n-paraffins are then subjected to a hydroconversion reaction. The hydroconversion reaction is run in the presence of an LTA type zeolite, which zeolite has an acid site concentration preferably about 2.7 mol/l or greater. A boiling range of n-paraffins is then collected from the hydroprocessing reactor comprising C2-C6 n-paraffins. The collected C2-C6 n-paraffins can then be pyrolyzed in a steam cracker with good results including improved ethylene production.
