Abstract:

The chemical recycling of waste plastics has become a research hotspot. However, in the chemical recycling process of the waste plastics containing chlorine, the chlorides are highly corrosive to the production equipment. This leads to the environmental pollution as well as a reduction in product quality. Through the analysis of the current relevant emission standards for chlorine content in our country, the development of dechlorination technology is recognized to be an important way to improve the chemical recycling process of waste plastics. At present, the domestic and foreign dechlorination technologies mainly include sorting, machinery, solvent dechlorination, step⁃by⁃step thermal decomposition, adsorption, and catalysis technologies. The characteristics, reaction mechanisms, and industrial applications of various dechlorination technologies were introduced in detail. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of each technology were analyzed and compared. A combined dechlorination technology was proposed to accelerate the development of chemical recovery process of chlorine⁃containing waste plastics.

Key words: waste plastic, chemical recovery, pyrolysis technology, dechlorination technology, industrialization
