  • Publication number: 20240140883
    Abstract: Depolymerization processes and systems for converting polyolefin waste and other waste plastic to hydrocarbons, specifically liquid and gaseous depolymerization reaction products. A depolymerization or catalytic pyrolysis process can be conducted on a process feed which includes a polyolefin waste and a hydrocarbon co-feed under depolymerization conditions, including contacting the reactor feed with a depolymerization catalyst such as a zeolite-based catalyst, with the system described herein. The resulting reactor effluent subsequently can be used as feeds or co-feeds for making circular products such as circular ethylene and circular polyethylene.

  • Publication number: 20240141130
    Abstract: A tandem polyolefin depolymerization-metathesis process and system for converting polymer waste to smaller hydrocarbons, specifically liquid and gaseous products, which subsequently can be modified and used as feeds or co-feeds for making circular products such as circular ethylene and polyethylene. Specifically, the disclosed processes include a tandem depolymerization process step followed by a metathesis process to provide a effluent that can be separated, further processed with a subsequent depolymerization step, or both. The effluents can be supplied to downstream processing units such as a steam cracker or AROMAX® unit thereby providing an efficient method for converting polymer waste into useful circular products. Therefore, these processes and systems can expand the number of usable plastic waste streams and improve the economics of plastic waste recycling.

  • Publication number: 20240082831
    Abstract: Supported catalysts contain a transition metal compound impregnated on or bound to a solid support, and the transition metal is iron, cobalt, or manganese. The solid support is an inorganic solid oxide or a chemically-treated solid oxide. The transition metal compound is prepared by reacting a transition metal halide containing a ligand with an alkylating agent in a suitable reaction medium at a temperature of ?70 to 15° C., prior to impregnating onto the solid support.

  • Publication number: 20230407189
    Abstract: This disclosure provides processes for reforming hydrocarbons by using a series of adiabatic reactors and catalysts, in which the catalyst(s) in at least one front or upstream catalyst bed or reactor includes a higher fluoride concentration, higher chloride concentration, or both than the respective halide concentrations in the catalysts in one or more downstream catalyst beds or reactors, which has been unexpectedly discovered to extend the useful life and/or the selectivity of the catalyst system.
