  • Publication number: 20250002796
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for purifying a pyrolysis oil comprising providing a stream S0 comprising a pyrolysis oil, the pyrolysis oil comprising one or more halogenated organic compounds and one or more organic compounds comprising conjugated double bonds; subjecting the stream S0 to hydrogenation in at least one reaction zone Z1 containing a heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst, obtaining a stream S1 being depleted, compared to S0, in the one or more organic compounds comprising conjugated double bonds; subjecting the stream S1 to dehalogenation in at least one dehalogenation zone Z2 down-stream of Z1, obtaining a stream S2 being depleted, compared to S1, in the one or more halogenated organic compounds.

  • Publication number: 20240417629
    Abstract: A process for purifying a pyrolysis oil originating from pyrolysis of plastic waste is provided, wherein the process comprises a dehalogenation of the pyrolysis oil, wherein the dehalogenation comprises contacting the pyrolysis oil with one or more adsorption materials and/or subjecting the pyrolysis oil to a temperature of about 280° C. or more, wherein a halogen content of a resulting purified pyrolysis oil is about 55% or more lower compared to the halogen content of the untreated pyrolysis oil.

  • Publication number: 20240409825
    Abstract: A process for improving the quality of a crude pyrolysis oil originating from a pyrolysis of plastic waste is provided, the process comprising providing a crude pyrolysis oil originating from the pyrolysis of plastic waste, adjusting the pH value of the crude pyrolysis oil, resulting in a pretreated crude pyrolysis oil, performing a solid-liquid-separation of solid components and liquid components of the pretreated crude pyrolysis oil and/or subjecting the pretreated crude pyrolysis oil to a liquid-liquid-separation.

  • Publication number: 20230203382
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for purifying a crude nitrogen-containing, sulfur-containing, halogen-containing pyrolysis oil originating from the pyrolysis of plastic waste, comprising (i) subjecting the crude pyrolysis oil to a treatment with a trapping agent selected from (a) an elemental metal of group 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 of the IUPAC periodic table, a mixture or an alloy thereof; (b) an oxide of metals of group 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 of the IUPAC periodic table or a mixture thereof; (c) an alkoxide of metals of group 1, 2 of the IUPAC periodic table or a mixture thereof; (d) a solid sorption agent as defined in the claims; or a combination of at least two trapping agents (a), (b), (c) or (d); (ii) separating the product obtained into a purified pyrolysis oil fraction having a reduced nitrogen, sulfur and halogen content in relation to the crude pyrolysis oil and a fraction comprising the trapping agent which has bound at least a part of the sulfur, nitrogen, halogen pre
