“…It has also been reported in a study on the thermal degradation of ABS that the use of a half-batch reactor results in the enrichment of the contained brominated flame retardants into residual carbon [24]. We reported that HT addition in the pyrolysis of brominated plastics reduced the content of bromine compounds in the product oil [27]- [29]. The effect of HT addition with different elemental composition ratios in the pyrolysis of brominated polystyrene was also reported [30].…”

“…An abundance of literature exists on the basic investigation of pyrolysis and the chemical recycling of waste plastics [8]- [16]. However, the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) mold resin that is used in tantalum capacitors has physical and chemical stability issues and contains halogenated flame retardants that produce toxic gases when heat treated [17]. The pyrolysis of halogenated plastics has been carried out by using a carbon composite of calcium carbonate (calcium-C) [18].…”

In recent years, the demand for tantalum capacitors has been increasing due to the miniaturization of electronic devices. Tantalum capacitors, which use the rare metal tantalum as the capacitor element, are used in electronic devices such as cell phones because they are smaller and have a higher capacity than conventional capacitors. In Japan, there are reports that minerals containing rare elements are being extracted from discarded electronic and electrical equipment to produce medals for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In Japan, many used electrical products containing rare elements are discarded, and these metals are called urban mines. The tantalum contained in tantalum capacitors accounts for 40% of the total mass of the sintered material and is expected to be recycled from discarded products. However, tantalum capacitors are covered with a hard mold resin of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin, which is chemically and physically stable. However, due to its nature, ABS resin is difficult to destroy and has not been recycled. In this study, hydrotalcite (HT) (Mg6Al2(OH)16CO3・MH2O) was used to extract tantalum from the sintered tantalum capacitor by pyrolysis. HT was added to the tantalum capacitor and placed in a metal reactor and subjected to pyrolysis at 550℃ in nitrogen to determine if the sintered tantalum was susceptible to fracture. It is presumed that the bromine gas generated from the ABS resin of the tantalum capacitor was trapped by the HT and the mold resin of the capacitor became residual carbon.

“…The yield of product oil was improved to 96% from 93% when the zeolite catalysts, H-USY or H-Beta, were used in a steam contact process for pyrolysis [27]. The content of the bromine compounds in the product oil was decreased by adding hydrotalcite (HT) in the pyrolysis of brominated plastic [28][29][30]. HT is composed of layers of hydroxides that can form a metal complex hydroxide, containing anionic hosts and Mg 2+ and Al 3+ interlamellar guests [31,32].…”

Abstract. In this study, a method is presented to decrease halogen compounds in the product oil from thermolysis of polystyrene and polypropylene mixed plastic spiked with tetrabromobisphenol A. A mixture of hydrotalcite and plastic was pyrolyzed in a glass reactor at 400 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere. Bromine compounds in the residual substances were measured. The yield of product oil increased using hydrotalcite as an additive. The bromine compounds that were the major ingredients in the oil after thermolysis at 400 °C from the mixed plastic, which also included toluene, ethyl benzene, styrene, and 1-methylethyl benzene, were 2-bromohexane, 3-bromo-1-propenyl benzene, 4,5-dibromodecane, 1-bromomethylbenzene, 3-bromophenol, and 4-bromo-2,6-dimethylbenzaniline. However, bromine compounds were not detected in the product oil, residue, or gas when hydrotalcite was added. After the thermolysis of the plastic, bromine compounds in the product oil may decrease because bromine was captured by the added hydrotalcite.

Abstract-This research reports the energy release of rice chaff by pyrolysis. In Southeast Asia, rice is a staple food, and an abundance of chaff remains after rice cleaning the rice. Most chaff is spread on farmland or used as livestock feed. However, there is still a large amount of discarded chaff. In this study, This research was gasified chaff to evaluate its energy conversion using pyrolysis. This research investigated the effect of molecular sieves, which are a column filler, as an additive. The pyrolysis was performed under highly efficient conditions to measure any catalytic effects. Methane gas is a decomposition product and its release was the focus of this work as well as analyzing the amount of emitted carbon dioxide Adding molecular sieves 3A increases methane gas release and decreases carbon dioxide.
